Pier 4 station or Manila North Harbor station is a proposed Manila Light Rail Transit (LRT) station situated on Line 2 which will serve as the new western terminus of the line. It is part of the Line 2 West Extension project, which will extend the current line by up to 3.02 kilometers (1.88 mi). The extension line will begin at Recto station and will end at the Manila North Harbor in Tondo. The west extension project calls for the construction of three additional elevated stations, two on Recto Avenue and one on Zaragoza Street near Pier 4 of the Manila North Harbor. It was approved by the National Economic and Development Authority on May 19, 2015.[1][2]
