00:00 The road repairs of EDSA are not done yet.
00:06 That's why the workers are now double-timing.
00:09 We will look at the traffic on that part of EDSA.
00:12 We are in Mandaluyong. For the first news, James Agustin.
00:16 James.
00:18 Good morning.
00:23 The contractors were busy in the early morning on the left side of the road of EDSA Southbound in Mandaluyong.
00:31 The road was repaired at 6 am so the motorists were able to cross it.
00:41 At 3 am, the road was blocked by EDSA Southbound in San Juan.
00:48 The motorists were unable to cross the road because the cement was still drying.
00:53 The contractors are also double-timing the road on this part of the road in EDSA Southbound in Mandaluyong.
01:00 The motorists were unable to use two lanes, the bike lane being affected.
01:04 We were able to reach the part of the road that is still being repaired.
01:08 It was a few meters away before it reached EDSA Boni Avenue.
01:11 It is a three-lane road so the motorists were unable to cross it.
01:15 In one lane, cement was just about to be poured until 3 am.
01:19 That is one of the 24 lanes that the two contractors were unable to fix during the Holy Week
01:24 after they installed fiber optic cables.
01:27 It's a big problem because sometimes, there's no one in front of the road.
01:33 Some people might not notice and they might overtake.
01:47 We will cross this road later because there are fast vehicles.
01:51 If we don't cross this road, we might get hit.
01:56 Yesterday, the contractors were helped by MMDA and DPWH.
02:00 When they go there, they will review the permit.
02:03 Arlen Corporation said that they are working on a way to compensate the road repairs.
02:09 This is the part that we saw before Boni Avenue.
02:19 The steel plate of the contractor was just installed before the motorists were able to cross.
02:24 But we were able to reach it earlier and cement was still being poured.
02:28 Earlier, the traffic was heavy because the motorists were unable to cross two lanes.
02:35 But since 6.30 am, the traffic was heavy and the volume of vehicles was increasing according to MMDA and Metro Banks.
02:45 That is the first news from Mandaluyong.
02:47 I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
