DOTr seeks new common station builder
Manila Bulletin
|May 17, 2025
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has terminated its contract with the consortium tapped to build the Unified Grand Central Station due to "excessive delays" in completing the project.
-
In a statement on Friday, May 16, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said the agency has issued a notice of termination from the contract it entered into with BF Corp. and Foresight Development and Surveying Co. (BFC-FDSC) for the construction of the station.
In March this year, Dizon said the project's construction had been idle for more than a year, prompting the need to exit from the agreement.
Dizon said there is a clear urgency in completing the common station to ease and reduce travel time for commuters.
