The common alignment had been in limbo for years since the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), now Department of Transportation (DOTr), reviewed the project's technical and financial components.[11] It was in January 2017 that an agreement was reached to build the station. The groundbreaking of the station was held at the North Triangle Transport Terminal in September 2017. The station was expected to fully open in January 2021 but that date has now been pushed back to 2025, with partial operations for MRT-3 and LRT-1 slated for the end of 2023.[12]
