These survey locations are in the cities/ municipalities of Malolos, Calumpit in Bulacan and Apalit, San Simon, Minalin, Santo Tomas, San Fernando, Angeles, Mabalacat in Pampanga, Bamban in Tarlac and Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Zambales. Majority of the survey locations are in the vicinity of the railway alignment and will serve as access roads during the construction and operation period. The intersection in Bamban is included as it will serve as access to feeder traffic during the operations of the New Clark City Station. Meanwhile, surveys were conducted in Subic Freeport Zone as construction materials will be transported from the port, passing through these intersections and to the depot and construction yards at the vicinity of the alignment.
