The Toll Regulatory Board is pleased with the current progress of the next segment of the toll project linking Manila-Cavite Expressway with C5 Road.
The 1.6-kilometer CAVITEX C5 Link Flyover Extension is now 95 percent complete, according to the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB).
During the recent inspection of the CAVITEX C5 Link Flyover extension (Segment 3A2: Merville to E. Rodriguez Ave.) of Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC) and its joint venture partner, Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), TRB Executive Director Atty. Alvin Carullo said the board is "pleased" with the current progress of the next segment of the toll project that will link the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) with C5 Road.
"We look forward to it serving an estimated 15,000 motorists, helping lessen their travel time from SLEX to Pasay, Taguig and Paranaque, thereby helping decongest some of our local roads," Carullo said in a statement.
Early this week, the TRB’s inspection team together with CIC representatives checked the progress of the flyover extension that will soon connect to the operational 2.2-kilometer CAVITEX C5 Link flyover, providing convenient access for motorists bound to SLEX/C5 from Merville and vice versa.
During the inspection tour, TRB and CIC representatives also discussed the traffic management plan for the area once the extension opens.
This entails transferring the Merville entry and exit ramp in front of Shell C5 Southlink for better traffic flow.
Traffic signalization and signages will be installed in coordination with the local authorities to help manage traffic for motorists bound to the expressway, and those that will use the service road.
Meanwhile, construction for its other segment, Segment 2 (CAVITEX R1 Expressway to Sucat Interchange) also continues in full swing, now more than 30 percent complete.
Once this segment connects CAVITEX to its Sucat Interchange, travel time between the two areas will be reduced by as much as 30 minutes, bypassing traffic from Sucat Road and Quirino Avenue.
Once the entire CAVITEX C5 Link project is completed in 2023, the 7.7-kilometer expressway will benefit more than 50,000 motorists.
It will reduce travel time from CAVITEX to Makati, Taguig, and Pasay in under forty-five minutes while helping decongest EDSA, MIA Road., Roxas Boulevard and other major thoroughfares.
