From Biñan to GenTri in just over half an hour?
With the opening of the newest segment of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), a new promise of greater mobility and economic opportunities was opened up for residents of Laguna and Cavite provinces.
Opened last May 4, the 7.88-kilometer new subsection of CALAX extends the expressway from Silang (Aguinaldo) to Governor’s Drive Interchange in General Trias City, Cavite.
Designed to accommodate additional 6,000 motorists daily, CALAX Subsection 3 provides a faster alternative route for commuters and businesses by bypassing heavily congested local roads in Cavite’s growing industrial and residential corridors.
"Hindi lang mabibilisan eh dahil ma-relieve din ang traffic. At tinitingnan namin doon sa mapa ay ‘yung inaantay natin na matagal na galing dito sa Silang hanggang Kawit na. ‘Yung dati mga dalawang oras, magiging kalahating oras, 45 minutes na lang," President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. said during the opening ceremonies.
According to MPCALA Holdings Inc., the developer and operator of CALAX, the new subsection now spans 26 kilometers from Mamplasan Entry and will ultimately extend to 44.6 kilometers, linking the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit, Cavite, to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) in Mamplasan, Laguna.
Toll fees in CALAX Subsection 3 will be free for all classes for one month, the President announced, saying that aside from bringing ease of travel to motorists, it can also provide needed relief from their transportation costs.
