The project, financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, amounts to 330 million euros and is estimated to be completed in three years. It involves the construction of a 6.5-kilometre railway line that includes an elevated section, an underground section with cut and cover that will provide access to the Clark International Airport station, a substation and auxiliary facilities.

The rail line will become a key transport infrastructure in the metropolitan region of Manila and is one of the priority projects identified by the Department of Transportation of the Philippines. The project will cut the travel time between Clark and Manila from two to three hours by bus to one hour by train while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60,000 tons annually.
