LRT-1 Cavite extension phase 2 alignment seen finalized by Q1

PHILIPPINE STAR/EDD GUMBAN

THE Department of Transportation (DoTr) is hoping to finalize the realignment of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite extension within the first quarter.

“Around February or March,” Transportation Undersecretary for Railways Jeremy S. Regino told reporters in response to queries about the timeline.

The Transportation department considers the LRT-1 extension as among its 16 flagship infrastructure projects.

Mr. Regino said the second phase of the LRT-1 Cavite extension, which includes Las Piñas and Zapote stations, needs to be realigned due to a flyover set to be built in the area.

“Once we resolve the conflict with the skyway, we also hope to resolve the remaining right-of-way acquisition in Las Piñas within the year,” he said.

Last year, the first phase of the LRT-1 Cavite extension was opened which will accommodate an additional 80,000 passengers daily. This initial phase adds a total of 6.2 kilometers from Pasay City to Parañaque City. The five new stations are Redemptorist–Aseana Station, MIA Road Station, PITX Station, Ninoy Aquino Avenue Station, and Dr. Santos (formerly Sucat) Station.

In August the DoTr said the second and third phases of construction of the LRT-1 Cavite extension may begin by 2026 amid right-of-way acquisition issues. — Ashley Erika O. Jose
