The Department of Transportation (DOTr), in coordination with SMC Mass Rail Transit 7 Inc. (SMC7), wishes to inform the motoring public of upcoming temporary lane closures and traffic adjustments along North EDSA, specifically the segment between Landmark-Trinoma and the Unified Grand Central Station.
These adjustments are necessary to facilitate the Turnback Girder Launching Activity for the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7) project, a critical milestone in enhancing the capital’s railway network.
To minimize daytime disruption, full road closures will be restricted to late-night and early-morning hours. However, certain lanes will remain closed 24/7 to accommodate support structures.
Northbound (Heading toward Balintawak)
-
Partial Closure: Two (2) lanes will be closed at all times from February 1, 2026, to May 8, 2026, for Tower Support No. 2.
-
Full Closure: The entire northbound section will be closed nightly from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM, starting February 11, 2026, through March 10, 2026.
Southbound (Heading toward Cubao)
-
Partial Closure: Two (2) lanes will be closed at all times from February 22, 2026, to May 18, 2026, for Tower Support No. 3.
-
Full Closure: The entire southbound section will be closed nightly from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM, starting March 11, 2026, through March 23, 2026.
The DOTr and SMC7 request the public’s patience and cooperation as these works are vital to delivering a more reliable and efficient commuting experience.
Motorists are strongly encouraged to:
-
Plan trips ahead to avoid delays during the affected hours.
-
Use alternative routes as indicated in the official traffic detour maps provided via DOTr social media channels.
-
Follow onsite traffic signs and personnel directions for safety.
The MRT-7 project remains a top priority in the government’s mission to modernize the national public transport system and provide long-term relief to Filipino commuters.
