East Extension
Construction progress of Antipolo Station as of June 3, 2020.
Construction of the viaduct for the East Extension Project (November 29, 2016)
The line's East Extension is currently under-construction which adds 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) of new line, starting from the eastern terminus of Santolan Station up to Masinag in Antipolo. The extension calls for two additional stations, one is in Barangay San Roque, Marikina near Sta. Lucia East Grandmall; and another in Masinag, in Barangay Mayamot, Antipolo near SM City Masinag. The National Economic and Development Authority approved the ₱2.27 billion extension in September 2012.[23] Groundbreaking was held on June 9, 2015 and as of April 2017, the viaduct is now complete, which is package one of the three packages which are part of the east extension project. Meanwhile, Package 2 is the design and construction of the two additional stations, which Package 3 is the design and build of electro-mechanical system of the railway, which is from October 2017 until April 2019. The groundbreaking for the construction of the two stations was held on May 30, 2017. The construction of the two stations is set to be completed by August 2018. In April 2017, Secretary Arthur Tugade of the Department of Transportation or DOTr, announced in the Dutertenomics Forum that the targeted time for the completion of the east extension project is set to be at 4th Quarter of 2020. The project aims to accommodate an additional 80,000 passengers and reduce traffic congestion along Marcos Highway. When the project is completed, it will reduce travel time from Recto to Masinag from 3 hours to only 40 minutes.[24]
While implied by the provisions in the current end of the line in the upcoming Antipolo Station, there are currently no official plans to further extend the line to as far as Cogeo at the moment.[citation needed]
However, the East Extension was not completed in the 4th Quarter of 2020 due to delays in construction work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the extension was instead set to be inaugurated on April 26, 2021[25] and was expected to begin operations the following day.[26] Unfortunately, the opening date is again pushed back to June 23, 2021 due to increased COVID-19 case spikes since March 2021.[27] An inspection and first trial run on the East Extension was finally done on May 20, 2021, a month before the opening of the new line.[28][29]
As of February 28, 2021, the project is 96.51% complete.[27]
