EXCLUSIVE: Salute for the upcoming Skyway Project of Duterte! Bangon Pilipinas!

The elevated expressway is part of the supplemental toll operation agreement among the Republic of the Philippines, through Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), Citra, and the Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) in relation to the business and joint venture agreement covering the project.

“At the government side, we are fast-tracking all projects—that will be the trademark of the Duterte administration, all infrastructure projects will be moving at a fast pace,” he said.

The project, estimated to cost P62.4 billion, is called the NLEx-Cavitex Port Expressway Link. Mainly traversing the Manila Bay area, it is envisioned to link North Luzon Expressway and the Cavite Expressway, both controlled by Metro Pacific, via a 15-kilometer, four-lane toll road.

The proposal was made by Metro Pacific unit Manila North Tollways Corp. It was recently submitted to Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar, according to the department’s public-private partnership (PPP) service.

Both projects, which will link NLEx and SMC-controlled South Luzon Expressway, want to loosen traffic-strangled roads in the capital district.

This is the same objective of Metro Pacific’s NLEx-Cavitex Port Expressway, which is also counting on luring large trucks that serve Manila’s busy port area.

Construction of the 14.82-kilometer facility started in 2014, but the contractor Citra Metro Manila Tollways Corp., a San Miguel Corp.-backed company, encountered roadblocks in terms of ROW delivery.

Upon completion, the skyway will give accessibility, mobility, and connectivity in the metropolis through eight strategically-located interchanges: Buendia, President Quirino Avenue, Plaza Dilao and Nagtahan, Aurora Boulevard, E. Rodriguez Avenue, Quezon Avenue, Sgt. Rivera and Balintawak, having a total of 14 Toll Plazas.

There is San Miguel Corp.’s Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, which will open by 2020, and Metro Pacific’s connector road, which has yet to start construction but is targeting completion by 2021.

The project, estimated to cost P62.4 billion, is called the NLEx-Cavitex Port Expressway Link. Mainly traversing the Manila Bay area, it is envisioned to link North Luzon Expressway and the Cavite Expressway, both controlled by Metro Pacific, via a 15-kilometer, four-lane toll road.

Public Works Secretary Mark A. Villar had promised a faster and more efficient right of way acquisition and delivery from his agency’s end, saying that this will be his office’s “trademark” in the industry.
