NLEX Corp. is set to start the NLEX-SLEX Connector Project by June or July. NLEX Corp. President Rodrigo E. Franco said additional right-of-way works are ongoing.
Beginning of construction was intended for the first quarter of this year. Target date of completion is by April 2021. The P23.30-billion project is an eight-kilometer all-elevated toll expressway extending the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) southward from the end of Segment 10 in C3 Road, Caloocan City to the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) in Sta. Mesa, Manila.
The project also involves a connection to the Skyway Stage 3, and will include two interchanges located at C3 Road and España, Manila. Mr. Franco said they are hoping that the government will continue the plan to link the project to Skyway, with possible changes in the alignment of Skyway Stage 3 project. — Patrizia Paola C.
