The Department of Transportation , in partnership with the San Miguel Corporation, and the Quezon City local government unit , broke ground on Friday, April 14 the pre-construction works for the elevated turnback guideway of the P77-billion Metro Rail Transit 7.
“This pre-construction works will guarantee the least possible disruption in the travel experience of both pedestrians and road users along West Avenue while the MRT 7 infrastructure is in place,” explained Assistant Secretary for Railways Jorjette B. Aquino.This turnback guideway will allow MRT-7 trains to revert directions upon terminating at the North Triangle Common Station in North Avenue. Completion of MRT7 is expected in the second half of 2025.
“This portion of the alignment is critical to ensuring that train services would remain on schedule across the entire alignment from North Avenue to San Jose del Monte,” she noted. The Quezon City LGU redesigned West Avenue, given the expanse of physical space needed for the pillars of the turnback guideway.
With 14 stations, the MRT-7 will provide a smooth travel experience to about 800,000 daily commuters from San Jose del Monte in Bulacan up to North Avenue in Quezon City.“Commuting between Quezon City and the rest of the Metro Manila, and even to and from the nearby provinces will be more comfortable, accessible, safe, sustainable, and affordable,” Aquino concluded.
