Light Rail Manila Corp., a joint venture between Ayala Corp. and Metro Pacific Investments Corp., resumed works on the extension of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 to Cavite after receiving the green light from the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and Department of Transportation (DOTr) amid the enhanced community quarantine.
“Rest assured that we are taking every opportunity during this time to come back better for Filipino commuters. We are taking great efforts to make sure our workers remain safe and healthy by following the proper guidelines and precautions set by the government,” Enrico Benipayo, chief operating officer of LRMC, said.
The scheduled test pit works (bridge and pipe inspection) required for the construction along the CAVITEX–Paranaque bridge is set to begin on May 07 until May 22, 2020.
As a result, there will be a temporary road closure of the innermost lane (northbound) along CAVITEX–Paranaque bridge to give way to the necessary activities in the area during the same period.
This was previously announced and rescheduled due to the government’s implementation of Enhanced Community Quarantine program on March 17.
LRMC also said preventive and corrective maintenance works, including the replacement of air-conditioning compressor units, were in progress to ensure the public of better service when LRMC resumes operations of LRT-1.
Public transport operations have been suspended since March 17 in line with the government’s enhanced community quarantine enforced in Luzon.
