MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) on Thursday said that the Metro Rail Transit III (MRT-3) will again undergo another round of rail replacement works this coming weekend.
The DOTC, however, said that regular Saturday operating hours will be observed while the late Sunday opening will be at 10 a.m.
"Our continuing efforts to enhance the safety of the MRT-3 system include rail replacement works, which we are scheduling in such a way as to cause the least inconvenience to passengers. There will be no change to the regular Saturday operations on March 21. Meanwhile, Sunday operations will begin at 10 a.m. on March 22," DOTC Secretary Jun Abaya said.
Around 192 meters’ worth of rails will be replaced on the northbound tracks between the Taft Avenue and Magallanes stations.
The DOTC and MRT-3 will also get the recently-procured 7,296 linear meters’ worth of brand new steel rails by June 2015. These will be used for further rail replacement works later this year.
Meanwhile, the DOTC said that the toilet rehabilitation project is still ongoing.
All 63 toilets of the MRT-3 system will be rehabilitated by September 2015, with the first two toilets to be completed next month, the DOTC added.
