THREE more projects are expected to be completed by the North Luzon Expressway Corp.

According to the company, they are looking to build 3 major projects this year, including a new segment that will connect C-5 to the NLEX. 

Among these include the first two kilometers of the NLEX C5-Link between the Mindanao Avenue toll plaza to Quirino Highway in Novaliches.

This is set to start by the second quarter of 2024. 

“The construction of this new expressway section will be welcome news for NLEX commuters who currently face daily traffic gridlock in the congested portions of Mindanao Avenue,” said NLEX Corporation President and GM J. Luigi L. Bautista. 

Bautista underscored that the section will be integrated into the future NLEX expansion to C5/C.P. Garcia near Katipunan Avenue. 

“We foresee an interconnected tollway network that will be accessible to the west, east, north, and south sides of Metro Manila,” Bautista said. 

The tollways operator also said that they are looking to complete the Candaba 3rd Viaduct by November 2024. 

“Once completed, the Candaba Viaduct will be widened to three lanes with inner and outer shoulders in each direction, therefore enhancing motorists’ safety and mobility,” NLEX said. 

For the third major project, they are looking to expand the NLEX San Fernando to SCTEX Spur in Mabalacat, Pampanga, which is targeted to start in the second quarter of this year, the company said.
