Brief Description of the
Project |
|
The
project aims to extend the existing 15km LRT Line 1 System southward by
an additional 11.7km, of which approximately 10.5km will be elevated
and 1.2km will be at-grade. The Extension will start from the
existing line's last station at Baclaran and will traverse the cities
of Parañaque and Las Piñas in Metro Manila and reach the
municipality of Bacoor. The extension will initially include 8
new passenger stations with a provision of 2 additional passenger
stations. A satellite depot for light rail vehicle (LRV) storage
and light maintenance will be located at the southern end of the
proposed line. Intermodal facilities will also be installed at
high-demand stations.
The construction of the Cavite Extension
Line is divided into two phases - the first phase shall be from
Baclaran to Dr. Santos Avenue (Phase 1A) and the second phase shall
be from Dr. Santos Avenue to Niyog Station (Phase 1B)
The key features of the Line 1 Cavite
Extension Project, based on the Project Study conducted by SNC
Lavalin, as approved by NEDA, are the following:
-
Interconnectivity to the existing
Line 1 at Baclaran Terminal to form a continuous line and
transport more people
-
Compatible technology with the
existing Line 1 to permit through running of trains
-
Integrated fare collection system,
with ticket commonality for seamless travel
-
Intermodal facilities at three high
demand stations
-
Common maintenance facility for the
Extension and the Existing Line in Pasay City
-
Satellite depot for storage and
light vehicle maintenance, located at the south end of the line
The
project seeks to (a) immediately provide safe, reliable and environment-friendly
transportation services in Metro Manila and the suburbs; (b)
immediately alleviate the worsening traffic condition in the
Para?aque-Las Pi?as-Cavite area and (c) catalyze commercial
development around the rail stations.
