P11.81-B Central Luzon expressway 94% done, DPWH says
THE P11.81-BILLION Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX), which connects the cities of Tarlac and Cabanatuan, is now 94% finished, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said Thursday.
In a statement, DPWH Secretary Mark A. Villar said the first 18-kilometer section of the 30-kilometer expressway project will “soon” be accessible to motorists.
The project is funded through a loan agreement with the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
“Partial opening of CLLEX had to be moved from May to July after work suspension were issued for the on-going contract packages in compliance to the construction safety guidelines to mitigate and suppress transmission of COVID-19 infection,” the department said. — Arjay L. Balinbin
