MANILA\u00a0 — Replacement for the damaged tracks of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) finally kicked off Tuesday midnight, a transport official said.<\/p>\n

MRT-3 rehabilitation projects consultant Atty. Hernando Cabrera confirmed this by posting a photo of the replacement work being done on the tracks on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cSectional rail replacement (pre-welding) activity between Taft (and) Magallanes Stations, MRT-3, 1:10 am, Feb 24 (Tuesday),\u201d his caption on the photo read.<\/p>\n

Cabrera said that the same track replacement will be done everyday during a three-hour window time until all 6,000 meters of damaged railway track will be replaced.<\/p>\n

To recall, MRT-3 general manager Roman Buenafe earlier made a proposal to shorten MRT-3 operation hours on weekends to allow management to allow enough time for replacement of damaged railway tracks.<\/p>\n

This scheme was first carried out last weekend.<\/p>\n

The MRT-3 regularly operates from 4:30 a.m. to 11 pm daily but Buenafe\u2019s proposal had operations close from 9:00 p.m. Saturday and open Sunday noon.<\/p>\n

Management has yet to give a timetable on when total replacement of tracks will be finished but assured that government was doing its best to make the travel more convenient for its passengers.<\/p>\n

Additional hand straps are also going to be added as a precautionary measure to provide passengers with support in case MRT- coaches make sudden stops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
