The P6.4 billion project that would connect the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) loop is expected to be completed and operational by May 2010 and would cover at least five stations and span 5.71 kilometers.
The rail link project would connect the LRT Line 1’s Monumento station in Caloocan City with the MRT North Avenue station in Quezon City in a bid to ease Metro Manila’s traffic problem, according to Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Secretary Leandro Mendoza.
Mendoza said that there is no problem in funding these projects because the national government has several private partners to finance the administration's infrastructure priority projects.
He also said that the completion of the 5.4-kilometer route linking LRT 1 and MRT 3 will definitely help ease the traffic congestion, particularly along EDSA from Monumento in Caloocan up to Taft Avenue in Pasay City. - source: PNA
