Construction of the Unified Grand Central Station, also known as the Common Station, in Quezon City officially resumed on Wednesday, November 11, following a site inspection led by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon and other Department of Transportation (DOTr) officials.
Located along North Avenue, the station is designed to connect four major transport lines: MRT-3, MRT-7, LRT-1, and the EDSA Busway. Its completion is targeted for March 2028.
Dizon said the project had been in the planning and development stages for around 20 years. It was initially undertaken by BF Corporation and is now being continued by a consortium led by Light Rail Manila Corporation.
Once completed, the integrated transport hub is expected to provide commuters with more convenient transfers between rail lines and the EDSA Busway, helping reduce travel time and improve connectivity.
The project is being pursued in line with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive to improve the country's public transportation system.
