Description project
Malolos-Clark Railway Project (MCRP) is a proposed 53.1km-long railway line being constructed to connect Malolos to Clark economic zone and Clark International Airport (CIA) in central Luzon, Philippines.
The elevated railway line will be developed by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). It will be the first airport express railway service in the country.
The project is a part of the 163km-long North-South Commuter Railway project (NSCR), which aims to connect New Clark City to Calamba by 2025. NSCR is a flagship project of the government’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ infrastructure development program aimed at reducing traffic congestion in Metro Manila and boosting economic growth.
MCRP is expected to reduce the travel time to less than one hour, upon completion in 2025.
