In the midst of a current pandemic and a series of natural disasters, the Ministry of Transport (DOTr) and Philippine National Railways (PNR) Remain focused and committed to promoting transit infrastructure solutions that will greatly benefit the Filipinos well into the future.
Yesterday, the PNR presented another breakthrough in its game-changing Clark Phase 1 project, as part of the major North South Commuter Railway (NSCR) program, with the lifting of its first prefabricated segment, headed by Junn Magno, Director General of the PNR ,and Deputy Director General Atty. Celeste Lauta.
The Pre-cast segment or Girder, one of the main components of the rail line construction, is an engineering masterpiece designed and patterned after international railway construction guidelines.
The PNR Clark Phase 1 (Tutuban - Malolos) project, is the 38-km. the rail line that will connect Tutuban, Manila to Malolos, Bulacan. When completed, this modern mass transport system is expected to serve 300,000 passengers daily, and greatly reduce travel time from approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to just 35 minutes.
This PNR Clark Phase 1 will integrate with PNR Clark Phase 2 (Malolos to Clark) and PNR Calamba, forming the NSCR mega railway, one of the biggest infrastructure projects under the massive "BUILD, BUILD, BUILD" program of the Duterte Administration. The project is a mammoth 148-km route length rail line with 37 stations, 464 train cars, and an estimated 830,000 passenger capacity per day once fully operational.
