The Department of Transportation - Toll Regulatory Board (DOTr-TRB), in partnership with the Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH), on Monday (Jan. 8) led the ground breaking of the South East Metro Manila Expressway Project (SEMME).
DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade, DPWH Secretary Mark Villar, BCDA President & CEO Vince Dizon, Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, and other local government unit officials led the ground breaking ceremony at the C-5 service road in Taguig.
The South East Metro Manila Expressway, is estimated to cost P45 billion and targeted for completion by 2020.
The 34-kilometer expressway will link SMC’s Skyway Stage 1 in the Food Terminal Inc. complex in Taguig City to the Batasan complex in Quezon City.
According to the DOTr, the expressway will eventually connect to the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) via Balagtas.
Aside from decongesting roads in Manila and Quezon City, particularly major road networks such as EDSA, C-5, Ortigas Avenue, and its extension, the Southeast Metro Manila Expressway will also provide commuters and motorists fast and direct access by South and Southeast, as well as Metro Manila inter-city travelers, to major international and domestic airports.
When completed, travel time of motorists from Bicutan, Taguig City to Batasan, Quezon City will be reduced to only 35 minutes.
The project, which is part of the Metro Manila C-6 Expressway project, will have six lanes, both for elevated and at-grade sections.
The C-6 expressway project will have a second phase involving a 24.28-kilometer expressway that would provide links to San Mateo, Rizal and City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. (DOTr/EPC/SDL/PIA-NCR)
