LRT Line 2 East Extension

This involves the design and construction of a 4.19-kilometer extension from the existing Santolan Station to Masinag Junction (intersection of Marcos Highway and Sumulong Highway).
Two stations will be built at Emerald Drive, Cainta, Rizal (in front of Robinson's Place Metro East), SM City Masinag and Masinag Junction, Antipolo City. This project will provide rapid and reliable mode of transit to the east of Manila and to various strategic commercial, industrial and educational districts in Metro Manila.
The LRT 2 line extension would cost about P9.5 million to build and is slated to be finished by 2016. It is projected to serve at least 526,400 passengers per week by 2045.

North Avenue MRT Station Rehabilitation

Project Description

They would be fine sa minor fixing ng MRT-3 North Avenue station in front of Trinoma Mall na magkakaroon siya ng parang 2nd level concourse area before 3rd level platform area similar to MRT-2 Stations and LRT-1 Balintawak and Roosevelt Stations. Pwede naman siguro may space naman sa ilalim para mas marami ang booth for ticket at mabawasan ang pila lalo na sa labas kailangan lang nila sirain yung overpass sa ilalim.

LRT Line 1 Rehablitation

The LRTA last week issued a notice to proceed to OMMC-KORAIL-Erin Marty-Jorgman Joint Venture to replace 23 kilometers of rail of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) within 20 months from the receipt of the notice.

In November 2012, OMMC-KORAIL-Erin Marty-Jorgman Joint Venture won the bidding for the P269 million LRT1 Rehabilitation Project. The project was supposed to start in May 2013, but the Commission on Audit had raised procedural issues, which had since been resolved.
