The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) seeks to complete its west extension project for LRT-2, which will add 3 more stations in Manila, by 2026.
LRTA administrator Hernando Cabrera said they are just waiting for the budget of the 3-kilometer extension project to be approved. The project’s total cost is at P10.1 billion as of September 2020, a transmittal letter showed.
“The moment na maibigay sa atin yung tinatawg natin na multi-year obligational authority, ipapa-bid natin agad ito kasi tapos na lahat ang plano na ito, mayroon tayong consultant dito at talagang ang hinihintay natin ay ang papeles ng ating budget,” Cabrera said in a televised briefing.
The extension project aims to build stations in Tutuban (next to Cluster Mall), Divisoria (west of Recto Avenue) and Pier 4, based on the document.
The locations were chosen to “capture commuters using inter-island ferries,” said Cabrera.
