Based on Light Rail Manila Corporation’s (LRMC) original plan, the LRT Line-1 Cavite Extension project is expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2021.
However, transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade wanted to complete the project in 2019 or 2020 for the benefit of thousands of commuters who take LRT-1.
“Their assumption of construction is 8hrs a day, sabi ko pwede ba yung construction gawin nating 24 hrs, without sacrificing quality of construction,” Secretary Tugade said. (Their assumption of construction is eight hours a day. I asked them if construction can be done 24 hours without sacrificing quality of construction.)
LRMC said it will work doubly hard to complete the LRT-1 extension project earlier than its expected completion.
Under the project, eight stations will be constructed linking Parañaque City, Las Piñas City and Bacoor City.
The stations are Aseana, Mia, Asia World, Ninoy Aquino, Dr. Santos, Las Piñas, Zapote and Niog station in Bacoor City, Cavite.
Upon completion of the project, the two-hour travel time from Cavite to Metro Manila will be shortened to 40 minutes.
LRMC added that the project completion might coincide with the arrival of the new trains for LRT Line-1.
At present, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Japan International Cooperation Agency are on bidding process for the planned acquisition of new trains.
The LRMC administration assures this will not be the same as what happened to MRT-3 where 48 new coaches bought by the previous administration from China could not be utilized due to technical issues.
“As early as now, we are getting involved dun sa procurement process, sabi kasi namin imagine ang na-inherit namin sa gobyerno is 3 kinds of trains meron galing ng Belgium, merong galing Korea, meron galing Japan, may darating na pang-4 baka iba na naman configuration nito patay kami sa pyesa, patay kami sa maintenance, iba-ibang specifications,” LRMC President Rogelio Singson said.
(As early as now, were are getting involved in the procurement process. As we have said, imagine, we inherited three kinds of trains from the previous government. There are trains from Belgium, Korea, Japan. There are more to come perhaps with different configurations, it will be hard for us. As to the issue on parts, maintenance and other specifications.) — Joan Nano | UNTV News & Rescue
