Cavitex Infrastructure Corp.(CIC) yesterday said the construction of the 7.7-kilometer, six-lane C-5 South Link expressway, which will connect C-5 road to the Manila-Cavite Toll expressway (Cavitex), is in full swing.
Mark Villar, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) secretary, together with senior DPWH officials yesterday inspected the progress of the construction along the CP Garcia Monument, C-5, a stone’s throw away from the Bicutan East service road.
“The benefits of this urgent infrastructure project will far outweigh the temporary inconvenience during construction. Upon completion, this toll road will speed up the commute of motorists, and travelers from Parañaque, Las Piñas and Cavite by allowing them to directly cross over the South Luzon Expressway and Skyway into C5 Taguig City,” Villar said.
About 40,000 to 45,000 vehicles are seen to benefit from the C-5 South Link and potentially decongest EDSA when it starts commercial operations.
“We are all very excited and proud that we have brought this project into construction stage. The first phase is 2.2 KM long including a flyover above the South Luzon Expressway and Skyway from C-5 Road in Taguig to Merville in Sucat, Parañaque, and costs about P2.5 billion,” said Luigi Bautista, CIC president.
The expressway’s second phase, from Merville to Cavitex (Coastal road), is estimated to cost around P7.5 billion.
Completion of the project is targeted in June 2019. This will be operated as an open toll collection system.
“C5-South Link is expected to benefit those coming from Cavite, Las Piñas and parts of Parañaque by having a direct access to and from C5. It will eventually provide a seamless connection to the 45-kilometer Cavite-Laguna Expressway which is under construction,” said Rodrigo Franco, Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC) president.
“We take pride in knowing that our organization contributes to the government’s Build, Build, Build program under Secretary Villar’s leadership,” Franco added.
MPTC is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corp.
Aside from the Cavitex network of toll roads, MPTC operates the North Luzon expressway, Subic-Clark-Tarlac expressway and the soon to be constructed Cebu-Cordova Link expressway.
