The Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) on Monday rescheduled some road closures along Roxas Boulevard due to adjustments in the construction timeline of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension project. In an advisory, the LRMC said the road closure is necessary for the construction of a pedestrian footbridge that is part of the Redemptorist Station still under construction. ‘The road closure is necessary to ensure safety during the girder installation works,’ it said. The northbound portion of Roxas Blvd. (going to Manila) will be closed beginning 10 p.m. Monday (May 8) until 5 a.m. Tuesday. In addition, the Roxas Blvd. Service Road near Baclaran Church will be closed beginning 10 p.m. Thursday (May 11) until 5 a.m. Friday. The road closures were earlier scheduled on May 2 to 3 and May 5 to 6 respectively. ‘The rail line apologizes for the temporary inconvenience, and seeks for everyone’s understanding and cooperation,’ it said. As of March, the LRMC said the LRT-1 Cavite Extension has reached a progress rate of 82.7 percent and is on track to complete phase 1 and begin operation by the final quarter of 202
