EDSA - McKinley access road scheme

- By ANNA LIZA VILLAS-ALAVAREN

The Metropolit­an Manila Developmen­t Authority (MMDA) will open the Edsa-McKinley service road in Makati City to two-way vehicular traffic to address bottleneck of vehicles in the country’s financial district.

Beginning Saturday, private vehicles coming from Mckinley would be allowed to turn right to get to Edsa going northbound while private vehicles on Edsa-northbound going to BGC will also be allowed to use the Mckinley access road.

At present, the Edsa-Mckinley Access Road is only utilized by PUJs as loading bay.

Both public utility jeepneys (PUJs) bound for Makati Business District in Ayala and Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City are allowed to load in the area and private vehicles to use the other lane to bypass the Edsa-Mckinley intersecti­on.

Under the new re-routing plan, MMDA enforcers will only allow three PUJs at a time at the loading bay on the side of Shell gas station to pick up passengers.

All PUJs will unload passengers at the BGC bus terminal where drivers will wait for their turn to queue at the loading bay.
