METRO MANILA SUBWAY
Some 30.55 percent of the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) is already complete, Department of Transportation (DOTr) Undersecretary for Railways Timothy John Batan said on Tuesday.
“Despite the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, again, back-to-back to back major milestones were still realized despite all odds,” Batan said in his speech during an inspection of the MMSP’s Valenzuela depot.
He said 576 out of the 6,400 tunnel rings needed for the partial operability segment of the MMSP have been completed, with more underway at the MMSP’s 7.5-hectare fabrication yard in Norzagaray, Bulacan.
The DOTr has acquired 197,000 square meters of land and 585 structures from 324 property owners as part of the project’s right-of-way acquisition.
​
With 17 stations—two of which are interoperable with the North-South Commuter Railway line—the MMSP is seen to reduce travel time between Quezon City and NAIA from one hour and 10 minutes to just 35 minutes. (PNA)
RELOCATION OF SENATE OF THE PHILIPPINES
It is composed of five major stages:
Project Planning and Land Acquisition
Conceptual Design
Procurement of Design and Build Package
Construction and Commissioning
Procurement and Installation of Fixtures
The first stage is Project Planning and Land Acquisition.
The stage that we are presently in is the Project Planning and Land Acquisition. It runs for three months from January to March, which basically sets things down and plans the course of the entire project up to its completion. All the preliminary activities are being made and coordinated during this stage.
Simultaneously, in coordination with the BCDA, we are formalizing the acquisition of the land where we will relocate and build the new building.
The second stage is the Conceptual Design Development Stage, which runs from February to June.
