NAIAx’s BGC extension to start this year —DPWH’s Villar

The plan to extend the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway (NAIAx) all the way to Bonifacio Global City in Taguig is expected to start later this year, Public Works Secretary Mark Villar said on Thursday.

“We’re planning it now, we’re coordinating with the concessionaire,” Villar told reporters in an interview here.

Asked when the construction of the ramp connecting the elevated tollroad to BGC will actually start, Villar said there is no specific date so far.

“We don’t have an exact date pa pero within the year.”

The Department of Public Works and Highways plans to extend the 7.7-kilometer elevated expressway to BGC and ease traffic congestion along the adjacent Sales Road in Pasay City.

Complimentary to the NAIAx extension is the ongoing road widening of Lawton Ave., also called Fort Bonifacio-Nichols Field Road, is in preparation for building the ramp to the elevated tollroad.

The NAIA Expressway is built and operated by conglomerate San Miguel Corp. under a 30-year concession agreement awarded in 2013.

The elevated tollroad became fully operational in June 2017. —VDS, GMA News
