A subsection of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), connecting the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road Interchange to the Silang East Interchange is now 93 percent complete and will be open for motorists to enjoy very soon.
A section of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) leading to Silang, Cavite is set to open in the third quarter of 2021, a subsidiary of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) announced April 30.
MPCALA Holdings Inc. said the CALAX Subsection 5 connecting the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road Interchange to the Silang East Interchange is now 93 percent complete.
“Once operational, we expect CALAX to serve around 5,000 motorists daily, thereby helping decongest traffic along Governor’s Drive, Aguinaldo Highway, and Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road,” MPCALA Holdings President and General Manager Roberto Bontia said.
“it is also expected to help accelerate economic progress in Laguna and Cavite as it connects the two provinces of Region IV-A,” he added.
Toll structures of the upcoming Silang East interchange are already erected while other miscellaneous works including construction of drainage system, and installation of expressways road and safety features remain on track.
Bontia also assured that MPCALA is fully complying with the DPWH and COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) health guidelines for the safety and protection of all its workers.
Upon completion, CALAX will span 45 kilometers with eight interchanges at the following locations: Kawit, Governor’s Drive, Open Canal, Silang (Aguinaldo) Highway, Silang East, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay, Laguna Boulevard, and Laguna Technopark.
It is expected to serve about 45,000 vehicles while cutting travel time between Cavite and Laguna from 2 hours to under an hour. (ONT)
