The Department of Transportation said Tuesday it signed a memorandum of agreement with SM Prime Holdings, D.M. Wesceslao and Associates Inc. and Double Dragon Properties Corp. to build EDSA Busway bridges with concourse.

The structures, which will be donated by the private partners, are indispensable components of the new EDSA Busway to provide safer, more convenient and PWD-friendly walkways for the riding public using the EDSA Busway stations and for pedestrians crossing EDSA from one side to the other.

The EDSA Busway—a system that utilizes a dedicated median lane for public utility buses from Monumento in Caloocan City to the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City—was established in cooperation with the Metro Manila Development Authority, Department of Public Works and Highways and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.

Since its launch, the EDSA Busway has reduced travel time from the previous 3 to 3.5 hours from Monumento to PITX to just 50 minutes to 1 hour.
