Workers
of D.M. Consunji Inc. (DMCI) were seen installing the steel components of the
ultimate or end-post of the 3.9-kilometer elevated guideway or viaduct for the
extension of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 2 System eastward from the
existing Santolan Station along the Marcos Highway in Pasig City to Masinag,
Antipolo City, Rizal on Friday, May 27, 2016.
The
current LRT Line 2 begins at Recto Ave. in Manila and ends at Santolan, Pasig
City.
The
Masinag Extension covers the construction of an elevated viaduct from Santolan,
Pasig City to Masinag, Antipolo City. Two additional stations will be built:
the Emerald Station in Cainta, Rizal, and the Masinag Station at the Masinag
Junction in Antipolo City.
Construction
of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 2 East Extension Project started in June
2015. The said extension is expected to be operational third quarter of 2017.
Meanwhile,
another railway extension project, this time on the Western end, is now in the
pipeline. Officially called the LRT-2 West Extension Project, this project will
extend the line from its current end-station in Recto up to Pier 4 in Manila. with
