The operator of LRT-1 said Tuesday it completed restoration of parapets or walls, river bridges and concrete structures to ensure the safety of passengers of the 35-year-old railway.
The parapets' concrete surfaces were sandblasted and repainted to remove corrosion. Noise barriers were also installed throughout the LRT-1's 20-kilometer stretch, Light Rail Manila said in a statement.
"LRT-1 has been here for 35 years. The project ensures that it will be here for the next 30," said LRMC president and CEO Juan F. Alfonso.
"The project completion strengthens our confidence in ensuring passenger safety," he said.
The restoration began in 2018, according to the LRMC statement. The LRT-1 is the capital's first and oldest elevated railway, stretching from Roosevelt in Quezon City to Baclaran in the southern city of Parañaque.
