Transportation officials widen and temporarily adjust Manila’s EDSA busway to support delegate convoys ahead of the 49th ASEAN Summit and related meetings. The MMDA says a dedicated bus lane opening is planned for foreign dignitaries, with arrangements taking effect over the weekend as international guests begin arriving. The designated route runs along the EDSA busway from Ayala Avenue in Makati to Roxas Boulevard in Pasay.
Multiple outlets report that the busway will be expanded beyond normal operations, with an expectation that motorists may experience slower metro traffic. GMA News highlights potential impacts on traffic even before the summit begins, while Rappler notes that congestion could start before the summit because of travel plans during a multi-day break. PravdaReport also emphasizes the convoy-focused lane access and the presence of regional and international leaders attending the meetings.
