The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is expected to start the construction of the P22.4-billion Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas expressway project (CTBEx) in the first half of 2019.
Currently, the agency is reviewing the unsolicited proposal submitted by Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) unit MPCALA Holdings Inc. last July, said Catalina Cabral, DPWH undersecretary for planning and public-private partnership, during a press briefing.
“We have seen the alignment. We are processing and reviewing the studies submitted to us and it will go to NEDA (National Economic and Development Authority) for further evaluation,” Cabral added.
According to Cabral, DPWH is expected to complete the review and announce its decision whether the original proponent status will be awarded to MPCALA by next month.
“We’re ready to give the results of our decision by November,” Cabral said.
Once the government awards the original proponent status to MPCALA, a Swiss challenge will be conducted to give other companies a chance to make a better offer to the government. This is set in the first to second quarter of next year.
The detail engineering design will follow in the third quarter of 2018 while right of way acquisition, which will be shouldered by the project proponent, will start in the fourth quarter of next year.
The project is expected to commence construction towards the first half of 2019. The first section through Tagaytay is targeted to be delivered in the first half of 2021. The two other sections will be constructed simultaneously and completion of the full expressway is targeted in the first half of 2022.
The project will be an extension of the Cavite-Laguna expressway. It will start from Silang Interchange all the way to Tagaytay then to Nasugbu, Batangas.
The three sections are Silang to Tagaytay which is 17.3 kilometers; Tagaytay to Alfonso, Cavite with 9.86 km; and Alfonso to Nasugbu at 22.23 km.
The two-hour travel time from Manila to Tagaytay will be reduced to less than an hour as the project is seen to address traffic congestion in the area.
Aside from CTBex, MPIC also submitted an unsolicited proposal to build the 21.8-km Circumferential road 5 expressway and the 15-km North Luzon expressway (NLEx)-Manila-Cavite expressway (Cavitex) port expressway link.
So Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas expressway project (CTBEx) is an extension of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (in a sense)?
15 km NLEX to Manila-Cavite Expressway (Cavitex)? Do they mean the Harbor Link Expressway or is this new?
Anyway baka kaya nilang tapusin ito by end of 2021 if they start beginning of 2019.
