MMDA decides to keep EDSA-Gen Tinio U-turn slot open

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) would keep the EDSA-General Tinio U-turn slot open until the construction of the elevated busway was completed, according to a report by GMA News.

Interviewed on Super Radyo dzBB on Sunday, MMDA Traffic Engineering Center director Noemi Recio said that Caloocan City Mayor Oscar Malapitan had asked MMDA Chairperson Benhur Abalos to keep the U-turn slot open.

“Sabi ni Chairman, itong U-turn na 'to will remain open hanggang sa maitayo 'yung ating proposal na elevated busway,” she said.

Recio said that many residents and motorists complained to Malapitan about the U-turn's closure.

Around 7,000 vehicles use the Gen. Tinio U-turn slot, according to Recio.

The U-turn slot was initially closed on February 1.
