Dizon meets Sotto to resolve Ortigas Station right-of-way issues for MMSP
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon met with Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto on Wednesday to address right-of-way issues related to the construction of the Ortigas Station for the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP).
During the inspection, Dizon emphasized the need to resolve these issues in accordance with President Marcos Jr.'s directive to complete key transportation projects.
Sotto expressed gratitude towards the Department of Transportation and offered his city government's assistance to expedite construction.
Both officials agreed that resolving remaining problems would allow for the start of construction within a few weeks.
On July 17, Dizon had instructed MMSP contractors to accelerate work on the PHP488.5-billion project to alleviate travel congestion in Metro Manila.
Once completed, the 37-kilometer subway line will reduce travel time between Quezon City and NAIA from one hour and ten minutes to just 45 minutes.
