The Philippines’ long-delayed Unified Grand Central Station, also known as the Common Station, is expected to be operational by 2027, Department of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said Monday.
“The project has been going on for more than a decade. I think it’s more than 15 years,” Dizon said.
“I think this is one of the legacies that President Marcos is going to leave behind that finally, during his term, the Common Station will be completed by 2027,” he said.
The agency earlier canceled the contract of BF Corp. and Foresight Development and Surveying Co. (BFC-FDSC) for the Common Station project due to excessive construction delays.
The termination followed President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directives to accelerate and complete the common station, which has been under construction since 2009 to ease commuter travel times.
