Construction works for the first phase of the P64-billion Light Rail Transit Line (LRT1) extension to Bacoor, Cavite, will commence later this year as right-of-way issues were substantially addressed, private sector operator Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) said Tuesday.
LRMC president and CEO Juan Alfonso told reporters in a press conference in Pasay City that right-of-way for the phase 1 or "package 1" —
is around "70 to 80 percent completed."
"We feel that the right of way is complete or is at a stage where we can start... our target is toward the later part of this year to build from Dr. Santos towards Redemptorist... it's at a stage where we can start moving," Alfonso said.
The LRMC chief said the right-of-way for the phase 1 is in the process of getting certified by an independent consultant.
"Aside from the right-of-way, we have to take care of relocating the utilities... we have Meralco poles or Maynilad pipes or NGCP lines which have to be relocated," Alfonso said.
