PUBLIC WORKS Secretary Mark Villar, together with Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) officials led by president Rodrigo Franco and NLEx Corporation president and general manager Luigi Bautista, will conduct a dry run on Wednesday on the opening of the NLEx Harbor Link Segment 10 from Karuhatan, Valenzuela City, to the new Caloocan Interchange in C3 Road, Caloocan City.
The new segment, which is scheduled for opening soon, will serve as an alternate corridor for motorists and commercial vehicles, including heavy trucks, traveling from Central and North Luzon provinces, Valenzuela City, and Quezon City to Manila.
“The NLEx Harbor Link Segment 10 will…cut travel time from port area to NLEx,” Mr. Villar was quoted in a statement as saying. “Once opened, around 30,000 vehicles daily will be diverted away from busy roads in Metro Manila.”
Mr. Bautista, for his part, said, “Aside from connecting NLEx to key areas in Metro Manila, the NLEx Harbor Link Segment 10 is seen to bring more opportunities in nearby communities such as generation of employment and increase in land values.”
Mr. Franco said, “Metro Pacific remains committed in supporting the government in its infrastructure projects to improve accessibility between airports, seaports, and growth corridors in both the north and south.”
