📋 Tender Overview
Source of Funding / Amount: Loan: metro rail transit, line 4: ortigas to rizal
Ordinary capital resources: US$ 1,000.00 million
The mrt4 project will be a fully elevated railway mass-transit system to serve the eastern side of metro manila including the highly populated areas of the province of rizal. As a high-capacity urban public-transport system, the mrt4 will address the current transport bottleneck along the ortigas avenue, will be approximately 15. 56 km long, with 11 stations and 2 provisional stations (future), and a barrier-free design to allow inclusive access. The project will provide a reliable, rapid, affordable, and safe public transport; will reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions; will reduce traffic congestions and commute/travel times from taytay to the ortigas central business district (cbd) from currently 1-3 hours by road to less than half an hour by rail. It will ensure maintain the high economic growth and inclusive urban development of eastern manila, the ortigas cdb, pasig city and the neighboring rizal province. It will be developed as an integrated public transport system, interconnected to the existing and/or currently implemented public mass-transit systems (i. E. , the lrt2, mrt3, mmsp, and the santolan-eastwood-pasig cable car system), with an intermodal integration of bus feeder routes and jeepney lines and will center on transit-oriented developments along the corridor.
In the philippines, substantial underinvestment in infrastructure has led to chronic capacity constraints in the transport sector, resulting in economic losses due to road congestion and in significant air pollution, as 98% of passenger transport and 55% of freight transport are by road. Making metro manila one of the most dense and congested natural cities in the asian region. One of the main transport bottlenecks in the eastern region of metro manila is the ortigas avenue, which is considered as a main thoroughfare that links the eastern province of rizal with the densely populated cities and business districts in metro manila (i. E. , quezon, san juan, mandaluyong, and pasig, including ortigas cbd. The rizal province, being in close proximity with metro manila has continuously high annual growth rates of 2. 88% (2010-2015) and is the most densely populated province outside of metro manila, with 2,439 persons per square kilometer. The congestion situation is therefore continuously worsening along the ortigas avenue corridor. With insufficient public transport options available and no capable public mass-rapid-transit systems in place, travel times during peak hours along this corridor can take an average of 3 hours for the 11. 5 km journey from tikling in taytay, rizal, to the ortigas cbd, mandaluyong city.
