Facilities such as ramps and platforms were planned to be constructed near the level crossing with C-3 Road.

Still, no concrete platforms were erected, later repurposed to become a station of the under-construction North–South Commuter Railway.

PNR opened the 5th Avenue station as part of Caloocan-Dela Rosa line on August 1, 2018.

As there are no platforms yet being erected, temporary stairs for the trains are added in the meantime to facilitate loading and unloading.

The new elevated expressway for NLEX Harbor Link is located immediately beside the railway station, with neighboring houses demolished for the construction, reducing the rail tracks to 1.
