THE first tunnel boring machine (TBM) to be deployed on the Metro Manila Subway project has been lowered into position at Valenzuela City.

A total of 25 TBMs will be used to build the 33km metro line, running from Valenzuela City to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and serving a total of 17 stations.

According to the Department of Transportation (DoTr), the initial section of the first metro line in the Philippines is expected to open in 2025, with full operation to follow in 2027.
