Third expressway connecting north-south Luzon proposed

A third expressway that will connect northern Luzon and southern Luzon expressways was proposed by Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation.

The proposal was submitted to Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar, through Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Public-Private Partnership (PPP) service.

The proposed expressway is a P62.4 billion four-lane toll road, the NLEx-Cavitex Port Expressway Link.

It will connect North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and the Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) running through Manila Bay area. Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation is the operator of NLEX and CAVITEX.

The first two north Luzon and south Luzon connectors are Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 (MMSS3) and NLEX-SLEX Connector Road expected to be online by 2020 and 2021, respectively.

NLEX-SLEX Connector Road will start from NLEX-Harbor Link Segment 10 in Caloocan City to run through Manila crossing Espana towards PUP, Sta. Mesa connecting to Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3.

Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, on the other hand, will connect South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) to Balintawak in Quezon City before NLEX through Central Metro Manila Area by using predominantly median of Quirino, G. Araneta and A. Bonifacio road networks.
