Will heavy traffic be a thing of past at the Meycauayan and Paso de Blas Valenzuela exits of the North Luzon Expressway?
It will be once additional exits are installed at the northbound portion of Libtong and the southbound portion of Pandayan in Meycauayan by the end of the first quarter of 2017, Manila North Tollways Corp. president and CEO Rodrigo E. Franco said.
A new exit will also be constructed at the southbound side of Lingunan in Valenzuela City, added Franco.
“This will minimize queuing in these areas during rush hours,” the chief of the MNTC, which oversees NLEX, said.
The construction of two additional exit ramps in Meycauayan City and one new exit ramp in Valenzuela City is part of MNTC’s continuing program to make travel at the NLEX and the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway or SCTEX faster and more convenient for motorists.
Queuing of large trucks and container vans usually happens during peak hours at the exits to both cities where several industrial compounds are located.
“Apart from improving travel, these new exits also aim at further stimulating commerce and development in our host communities,” Franco pointed out.
The City Government of Meycauayan, led by Mayor Henry Villarica, said: “We are working closely with MNTC to ensure smooth traffic flow in Meycauayan. A comprehensive traffic management program has been developed for the long-term traffic solutions in the city.”
Meycauayan has deployed more traffic enforcers and is strictly implementing ordinances that prevent illegal parking, loading and unloading along local roads.
MNTC is also undertaking the signalization of the Meycauayan east roundabout as part of the Meycauayan Interchange Improvement Project.
Traffic on both the east and west directions of the Camalig-Iba-Malhacan roads in Meycauayan has dramatically swelled, as the city in Bulacan hosts large manufacturing companies and commercial establishments.
Other enhancements to be carried out at the Meycauayan Interchange are the relocation of the southbound toll plaza, modifying its pavement, and the widening of the Malhacan road approach.
“MNTC will continue to search for solutions to ease travel and make toll fees work for motorists through improved roads and premium customer service,” Franco said.
Recently, MNTC completed the expansion of the NLEX Bocaue Toll Barrier from 26 toll lanes to 34 lanes to better serve motorists using the southbound toll plaza, the last toll gate before reaching Metro Manila.
The additional lanes are made up of four manual lanes, two Easytrip lanes and two mixed lanes.
