The much-anticipated Governor’s Drive portion of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) is now set to open by the second half of 2025.
In a press release Thursday, February 20, MPCALA Holdings Inc. announced that the CALAX portion between the Aguinaldo Highway exit in Silang, Cavite and Governor’s Drive in General Trias City is now 40 percent complete.
Once operational, this new segment will further enhance CALAX’s connectivity providing faster, seamless travel to General Trias and nearby areas. It will also ease traffic congestion on Governor’s Drive and Aguinaldo Highway.
Meanwhile, construction continues on its remaining sections, with Subsection 1 (Kawit Interchange) now over 31 percent complete, and Subsection 2 (Open Canal Interchange) at 21.9 percent completion.
“We are committed to completing the entire stretch of CALAX by 2025. Its full opening will not only ease traffic and improve connectivity but also support economic growth by enhancing access to key areas in Cavite and Laguna.” Elnora Rumawak, Officer-in-Charge of MPCALA Holdings Inc., said in the press release.
Once completed, CALAX will stretch 45 kilometers from Mamplasan Rotunda in Laguna to Kawit, Cavite, integrating with major expressways to provide a seamless connection between Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila.
CALAX will also connect with the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit, providing a more efficient route for motorists traveling between Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila.
Once the entire expressway is fully operational, it is expected to serve up to 95,000 vehicles daily, significantly improving travel times and boosting economic activity in the region.
