Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) is set to temporarily close Pacific avenue in Parañaque this week to ramp up the construction works on the Light Rail Transit line 1 (LRT-1).
In a statement, LRMC advised motorists bound for Manila-Cavite expressway to take MIA road due to the closure from August 17 to 19, to allow the installation of pi-girders to carry on safely and will require the closure of both northbound and southbound carriageways.
Earlier in August, LRMC announced that the closure will be from August 16 to 19, but adjustments have been made on the construction schedule.
Construction remains to be in full swing. Phase 1 of the 11.7 kilometer LRT-1 Cavite Extension project is now 60 percent complete with girder covering the entire stretch of Dr. Santos Station to Pacific Avenue near Asiaworld Station.
Under Phase 1, a total of five new stations will be added to the existing LRT-1 line: Redemptorist, MIA, Asiaworld, Ninoy Aquino, and Dr. Santos avenues. – Myla Iglesias
