The Transportation Department said it expects to complete the construction of the P2.27-billion LRT Line 2 Masinag Extension by August 2018.

“The completion of the LRT Line 2 East Extension Project is part of the fulfillment of the government’s promise to ease traffic congestion by extending the service of the LRT Line 2 System to the eastern part of Metro Manila,” Light Rail Transit Authority administrator Reynaldo Berroya said.

The LRT-2 East Extension Project involves the construction of a four -kilometer extension of the existing LRT-2 System from Santolan, Pasig City to Masinag in Antipolo. Rizal. 

Two additional stations will be built including the Emerald station in front of Robinsons Metro East and Sta. Lucia in Cainta, Rizal and Masinag station located before the Masinag Junction in Antipolo City.

DM Consunji Inc. bagged the contract for the two stations which are set to start construction works on June 6.  The LRT- 2 East Extension Project is seen to be operational in the first quarter of 2019.
