Ayala-SM Group’s proposed C3 Expressway encounters hitches

The Department of Public Works and Highways has cited a possible alignment problem with the unsolicited proposal submitted by AC Infrastructure Holdings Corp. and SM Investments Corp. to build the P23.7 billion C3 elevated expressway.

Alex Bote, director of the DPWH Public-Private Partnership Service, said there was some conflict in the alignment of the planned C3 expressway that will connect cities of Manila, Makati and Pasay, with the C3 Missing Link Project.

“We’re not sure if they’re revising the proposal. We will declare completeness of the review once they have threshed out the problem, “ Bote said.

The elevated toll road will run from Sta. Mesa, Manila up to the Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City.

AC Infrastructure and SMIC offered to construct and operate the proposed 8.6 kilometer C3 for a period of 35 years.

The C3 Missing Link project, on the other hand, involves the construction of a 5.22 km six-lane road that will connect the end of existing C3 Road in N.Domingo St. in San Juan to Buendia Ave. in Makati City.

According to the Ayala-SM Group, C3 will provide an alternative to Edsa, which is now congested and improve access to the Manila Bay development areas, the Makati central business district and the cities of Mandaluyong, San Juan and Manila.
