Kamuning Footbridge
Kamuning Footbridge

The Kamuning Footbridge, officially the Scout Borromeo–NIA South Road Footbridge and also known as the EDSA–Kamuning Footbridge, is a steel pedestrian footbridge spanning EDSA in Quezon City, Philippines. Constructed by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in October 2018, the footbridge is 9 meters (30 ft) high, located near Manuel L. Quezon University, the National Irrigation Administration Complex, and the GMA–Kamuning station. It connects Scout Borromeo Street in Barangay South Triangle to NIA South Road in Barangay Pinyahan, spanning both EDSA and the MRT-3's at-grade tracks. Its steep height and appearance has gained public attention, with many online comments remarking that it is inconvenient to use and discriminates against people with disabilities, senior citizens, children, and those who suffer from vertigo. As a result, it was mockingly nicknamed as "Mount Kamuning" and a "stairway to heaven" by both the public and local media, leading to mock "hiking" stunts and being the subject of online ridicule. The MMDA defended the design, stating it was necessary to discourage jaywalking and alleged robberies in the area, and "only intended for able-bodied pedestrians". Suggestions to rectify the issue by installing elevators or escalators were raised but not addressed due to budget constraints. As of June 2025, the footbridge is planned to be demolished and rebuilt following a directive from Philippine president Bongbong Marcos to have the Department of Transportation (DOTr) replace the footbridge with a design more accessible and convenient to road users and commuters.
