Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar announced yesterday the opening of the 10.1-kilometer segment of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Toll Expressway (TPLEX) in Pangasinan tomorrow.
Villar said the opening of the 10.1-km section, spanning from Binalonan to Pozorrubio, is a commitment of Private Infra Dev Corp. (PIDC), the concessionaire of the project, so that it may provide ease to motorists ahead of the busy Christmas season.
“The additional 10 kilometer road would ease traffic and significantly reduce travel time from Tarlac to Pozorrubio from 2 hours and 30 minutes to just 45 minutes,” said Villar.
The completion of the new segment will make TPLEX a 78.39-kilometer expressway, connecting provinces of Tarlac and Pangasinan.
The DPHW Chief said its last section – the 10.92 kilometer Pozorrubio, Pangasinan to Rosario, La Union segment is set for completion in June 2019.
“Upon full completion, TPLEX would reduce travel time from Tarlac to Rosario, La Union from 3.5 Hours to just an hour, benefitting an average of 20,000 vehicles per day,” he noted.
