    I wonder if they can actually do this.

    If they do, then that's a nice proposition. Tataas value ng binili namin na condo... hehe. I did always wonder how it would feel to have a second level EDSA (without buses) whenever i drive up the EDSA - Rockwell or the Ayala-EDSA flyover during rush hour (where you see the traffic below and you're driving at a fast clip before going down).

    MANILA, Philippines — A new EDSA (Epifanio De Los Santos Avenue) might soon rise in Metro Manila to address the traffic congestion in the metropolis, Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio Singson disclosed on Monday.
    Singson said they were looking at either putting an “elevated” expressway or a tunnel to decongest the traffic.
    “EDSA to us is a struggle. EDSA can no longer absorb widening so what’s our option?” said Singson during the hearing of the Senate finance committee.
    “We are doing a metro expressway for NCR [National Capital Region]. And this is either we put on top of EDSA a second level or we do a tunnel,” he said.
    “We’re completing a study on that and it looks like the elevated expressway on EDSA will be [built]. Bagong [New] EDSA,” Singson said. “We are finalizing our plans to do a new EDSA.”

    This will be a engineering/design nightmare with all the existing structure like the MRT/MRT Stations. That's what you get for short sighted management.

    Can you imagine the spaghetti tangle of elevated structures just at EDSA/Ortigas?

    Mas madali pa na ayusin ang MRT, ayusin ang edsa, disiplinahin ang mga bus drivers, tsaka private vehicles.

    Di pa kailangan ng 2nd level ng edsa sa ngayon.
