MRT-3 reschedules rail replacement works
The MRT3 management will reschedule its weekend suspension of operations for rail replacement efforts from August to November this year.
The specific rescheduled dates for the weekend suspensions are October 10-11, October 31, November 1-2, and November 14-15.
This rescheduling was based on the recommendation of its maintenance provider, Sumitomo-MHI-TESP, citing travel restrictions and health and safety precautions due to Covid-19.
The maintenance provider assured that these changes will not affect the target completion dates for rail replacement by the end of September.
The train operating speed is expected to increase to 40 kph by October, 50 kph by November, and 60 kph by December.
The rail replacement works will include turnout works on both southbound and northbound tracks at North Avenue and Taft Avenue stations.
