The Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced on Wednesday that the Kamuning Southbound Busway Station on EDSA will be temporarily closed from December 27 to 28 to facilitate the installation of a new pedestrian footbridge.
According to the DOTr advisory, a full road closure will be implemented starting at 1:00 a.m. on Friday, December 27, and will last until 4:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 28. The closure is necessary to ensure the safe lifting and installation of the steel components of the new structure.
During this period, EDSA busway units traveling southbound will skip the Kamuning station. The agency advised commuters to use the Quezon Avenue or Nepa Q-Mart stations for boarding and alighting instead.
The new footbridge is part of a ₱89.1 million project aimed at replacing the infamous “Mount Kamuning”—a structure long criticized by the public for its extreme height and steep stairs.
Unlike its predecessor, the new bridge is designed to be more inclusive, featuring two elevators and two wheelchair lifters to better serve senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
The project, which also includes the rehabilitation of the Kamuning Busway Station, was funded under the 2024 General Appropriations Act.
Transportation officials previously stated they are targeting to complete the bridge and the renovated station by the end of December 2025 to provide a “safer, wider, and more accessible” experience for commuters.
