Lawton station is an underground rapid transit station under construction on the Metro Manila Subway (Line 9). Located along Lawton Avenue near the McKinley West and Chino Roces Avenue Extension corridors in Taguig, the station will provide vital rail access to the southern peripheries of Bonifacio Global City, Philippine Army headquarters, and neighboring residential developments.
History
In the initial engineering studies for the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP), the baseline southern alignment included a station designated as Cayetano Boulevard station located near the C-5 Road corridor.[1] However, detailed geological and field evaluations conducted in June 2020 prompted a major route modification by the Department of Transportation (DOTr).[2] The Cayetano Boulevard site faced severe Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisition hurdles involving dense localized settlements and was found to directly intercept the West Valley Fault Line zone along C-5.[3]
To bypass these obstacles, the DOTr officially removed the Cayetano Boulevard station from the plans and moved the alignment westward along Lawton Avenue, adding the Lawton structure (initially planned as independent Lawton East and Lawton West nodes) to safely service the high-traffic McKinley West and Fort Bonifacio districts.[1][2]
