LRT-1 Cavite extension to begin construction by mid-2018

The P64-billion LRT-1 Cavite extension is set to begin by mid-2018.

The Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) President and Chief Executive Officer Juan Alfonso said the delay in construction is caused by the need to address right-of-way issues.

“We still have things that we’re trying to iron out in our right or way,” Alfonso said.

“It’s really clearing the path for actual construction, whether its residence or utility lines,” he added.

The LRT-1 Cavite extension will connect Baclaran to Parañaque City, Las Piñas City, and the City of Bacoor.

The project is expected to be completed by 2021.
