Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) said on Thursday that phase 1 of the 11.7-km LRT-1 Cavite Extension project is now 60% complete with girder covering the entire stretch of Dr. Santos Station to Pacific Avenue near Asiaworld Station.
In a press release, LRMC said that recent construction activities include the launching of pi-girders through above-ground launcher along CAVITEX near Paranaque bridge.
It said that the installation of pi-girders will continue along Pacific Avenue which will require the closure of both northbound and southbound carriageways from August 16 – 19, 2021, from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.
“Since the start of civil works in September 2019, construction remains to be in full swing despite the limitations brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic,” it said.
The viaduct of LRT-1 extension is targeted to be completed by the end of December 2021, while the electro-mechanical works are slated to begin in January 2022.
