Emerald LRT Station is an under construction station on the Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 2 (LRT-2) in the Philippines. It is part of the LRT Line 2 East Extension. The LRT-2 east extension plan calls for an elevated 2-station, 4.14-kilometer extension eastward from Santolan, which means that this station would be above ground. The station would be located at the intersection of the Marikina–Infanta Highway and Emerald Drive, and it will be also near the boundaries of Marikina and Cainta in Rizal.[1]
The station would be the first for trains headed east from Santolan and the eleventh for trains headed from Recto.
Construction of the LRT-2 east extension began in September 2015 and is expected to be completed by third quarter of 2017.[2]
Nearby landmarks
When completed, the station will link directly to Robinsons Metro East and Sta. Lucia East Grandmall.
