MPCala Holdings Inc., a unit of Metro Pacific Investments Corp., said it is on track to complete the construction of the P34.5-billion Cavite-Laguna Expressway project by December 2020.
“It’s delayed on the right of way, but we think we can accelerate and complete it by end of December 2020,” MPCala Holdings president Luigi Bautista said.
“We’re hoping by January next year, we will get 11 kilometers of right of way in the Cavite side. If we get 11 km, we will already ask Leighton to mobilize the construction,” Bautista said.
MPCala Holdings earlier tapped Leighton Holdings of Australia to build the Cavite side, while local contractor DMCI Consunj Inc. will construct the Laguna side of Calax.
Construction is expected to be completed by 2020, while operations and maintenance would be from 2020 to 2050.
Calax involves the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of a four-lane, 47-kilometer closed-system toll expressway connecting Cavitex and South Luzon Expressway.
The expressway will start from Cavitex in Kawit, Cavite and end at the SLEx-Malampasan Interchange in Biñan, Laguna.
Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. is also constructing Cavitex C5 South Expressway, linking C5 and Merville, Parañaque by way of a flyover, while the second phase will connect Merville and Cavitex.
The company is also building the P27.9-billion Cebu-Cordova Bridge project, a 8.25-km bridge project that will connect Cebu City to Mactan Island via Cordova. The project is expected to be completed by 2020.
MPTC is also building the NLEx-SLEx Connector Road, an eight-kilometer, four-lane toll road linking the North Luzon Expressway and South Luzon Expressway, passing through Metro Manila and using the existing Philippine National Railway alignment as its route.
The MPIC group also operates the North Luzon Expressway, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway and Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway.
