Malolos–Clark Railway project, Philippines
Name of the Project
Malolos–Clark Railway project.
Location
The project is located 80 km north of Manila, in the Philippines.
Project Owner/s
Philippines Department of Transportation (DOTr).
Project Description
The Malolos–Clark Railway project, part of the 163 km North–South Commuter Railway project, will ease road congestion in the capital and nearby provinces, and reduce yearly traffic-related economic costs, which total $18-billion in Metro Manila alone. It will also help push economic activity to regional growth centres, such as Clark, in Pampanga province.
The project will reduce travel time between Clark and Manila from two to three hours by bus, and to one hour by train, reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 60 000 t/y.
The contract involves the construction of a 6.5 km main railway line, which includes elevated and underground sections, with cut and cover that will provide access to the Clark International Airport station, substation and auxiliary facilities.
Potential Job Creation
The project will create about 24 000 local construction jobs in the next three years and 14 000 more jobs related to the railway system’s operation. It will also lead to larger, indirect employment and economic benefits to local businesses, such as suppliers of raw materials, which, in turn, will create more jobs.
Capital Expenditure
The contract is estimated at €330-million.
Planned Start/End Date
The project is expected to be completed by 2024.
Latest Developments

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
