History
In February 2019, the Department of Transportation signed a deal with the joint venture of Shimizu Corporation, Fujita Corporation, Takenaka Civil Engineering Co., Ltd., and EEI Corporation for the design and build contract for the first three stations of the Metro Manila Subway, which includes the Quirino Highway station. The station was initially planned as the northern terminus of the line until East Valenzuela station was added to the proposal in June 2020. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) then began clearing a site for the partial operability section of the Metro Manila Subway to initiate its construction. Construction of the station was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but was continued in late 2021.
Transportation links
Jeepneys, taxis, and buses will be available around the station. It will also have access to buses going northbound and southbound along Mindanao Avenue because of a dedicated bus station outside the station. There are also tricycles near the area, especially within Quirino Highway and Marigold Street.
