THE Department of Transportation (DoTr) said construction of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension is moving forward after the federal government cleared a key right-of-way (RoW) issue along the rail line\u2019s alignment.<\/span><\/p>\n Transportation Acting Secretary Giovanni Z. Lopez said the RoW issue affecting the LRT-1 Cavite Extension alignment had been resolved.<\/p>\n The event comes after Ombudsman Jesus Crispin C. Remulla ordered an investigation into allegations that the Villar siblings were blocking construction of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension project.<\/p>\n \u201cBased on the report that we now have, they wish to donate the property as a part of the extension,\u201d Mr. Lopez said.<\/p>\n In June, Senator Mark A. Villar denied allegations that he had caused delays within the project.<\/p>\n Last month, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. directed the DoTr to make sure the LRT-1 Cavite Extension is accomplished by 2028.<\/p>\n The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) has said it goals to finish the acquisition of RoW for Segments 2 and three of the extension inside the 12 months.<\/span><\/p>\n Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC), the LRT-1 operator, opened Phase 1 of the Cavite Extension in 2024, adding five stations to the rail line.<\/p>\n The primary phase prolonged the road by 6.2 kilometers, linking Baclaran Station in Pasay City to Dr. Santos Station in Para\u00f1aque City.<\/span><\/p>\n Phases 2 and three, which is able to serve parts of Cavite, include the Las Pi\u00f1as, Zapote, and Niog stations.<\/p>\n Mr. Lopez said a flyover being built along the project\u2019s alignment stays one among the challenges in completing the remaining RoW acquisition.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere are suggestions about the opportunity of (realignment) of the flyover, but to try this we would wish (further assessments) and traffic study first,\u201d he said, adding that the DoTr is confident the flyover can coexist with the present alignment of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension.<\/p>\n Last 12 months, the DoTr requested a further P3 billion to construct a further station in Bacoor City as a part of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n LRMC is a three way partnership of Ayala Corp., Metro Pacific Light Rail Corp., and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings (Philippines) Pte.
