Toll Holiday Possible on Skyway, NLEX Connector Amid EDSA Rehabilitation

The Philippines is preparing for a potential toll holiday on Skyway Stage 3 and the NLEX connector, possibly starting in July or August 2025. This initiative is linked to the ongoing EDSA rehabilitation project, aimed at improving traffic flow in Metro Manila. According to Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Mon Ilagan, "This toll holiday will serve as an alternate route for motorists while EDSA is being fixed." The toll holiday will cover a significant stretch of roadway, impacting commuters traveling to and from various areas of the city. The Department of Transportation is actively working to ensure minimal disruption to commuters during the rehabilitation process. This proactive approach demonstrates a commitment to improving infrastructure and alleviating traffic congestion in the long term.
