The tentative start for the multi-billion rehabilitation work on Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT-3) was moved to May 2019, an official said on Wednesday.
Michael Capati, head of operations of MRT-3, said the start of the three-year rehabilitation was moved to May since some documents still had to be fixed.
“Tentative. Meron pa po inaayos na documents,” Capati said in a text message when asked for confirmation why the tentative start was moved to a later date.
The rehabilitation work was initially set to begin between the last week of January and the first week of February.
The rehab work will start with the 72 light rail vehicles (LRVs) that make up the entire MRT 3 fleet, and will be undertaken by the Japanese consortium Sumitomo-Mitsubishi Corp. using the P18-billion loan from the Japanese government.
Rehabilitation of the line will also include the restoration and overhaul of the line’s power supply, overhead catenary system, signaling system, tracks, closed-circuit television camera and public address systems, as well as its elevators and escalators. /cbb
