Turnover of LRT-Cavite right-of-way seen this yearMANILA, Philippines — If things go as planned, the private operator of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) may be able to resume construction of the railway’s extension line to Cavite next year. The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) is close to acquiring all right-of-way (ROW) for the second and third phases of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project. However, the LRTA acquired only less than 70 percent of the ROW for the second segment of the project. Although nothing is final yet, Cabrera said it is likely that the cost of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project would change from the approved amount of P64.9 billion in 2014. The LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project will add 11.8 kilometers to the service line of the railway system.
