Anonas station
Philippines
Anonas station is an under-construction underground Metro Rail Transit (MRT) station located on the Metro Manila Subway (Line 9) system in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. The station sits under the busy intersection of Anonas Street and Aurora Boulevard, acting as a structural out-of-system interchange linking commuters directly with the elevated Anonas station of the LRT Line 2. This link provides a key cross-transit corridor between the eastern-facing lines of Metro Manila and the subway's north-to-south axis.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) issued a formal Notice of Award for the station's civil footprint on September 23, 2022, to Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd. under Contract Package 103 (CP103). The ₱21.13 billion baseline contract was officially signed on November 3, 2022, during a ceremony held at Malacañang Palace witnessed by President Bongbong Marcos and Japanese diplomatic representatives. The project officially broke ground on February 13, 2023, under the supervision of DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista. CP103 comprises a 6.6-kilometer (4.1 mi) operational corridor. Tunneling works connecting the Anonas hub use advanced Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) alongside localized New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) configurations to lower surface interruptions along Aurora Boulevard.
