BIÑAN, Laguna—The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) aims to deliver a portion of the crucial right-of-way for the construction of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (Calax) by the third quarter this year, Secretary Mark A. Villar said on Saturday.
His agency is making progress with the acquisition of the needed easement for the Cavite side of the Calax, as it recently received the environmental compliance certificate, Villar said.
For now, it is just “waiting for the writ of possessions from the courts” to start the delivery of the right-of-way to MPCALA Holdings Inc., the concessionaire for the Calax.
“We have already started the acquisition of right-of-way, as early as this year. We’ve identified the areas so it’ll be easy. We will be able to start the civil works this year,” he said.
Saturday saw Villar inspecting the progress of the Calax in Laguna, a portion of which is aimed at being completed in the next six to nine months.
The segment here spans from the Laguna Boulevard to Mamplasan, Biñan, and travel time is projected to be cut in half to 10 minutes, with 7,300 vehicles seen benefiting from that per day.
Stretching for 7 kilometers, the segment costs about P10 billion. The contractor for the segment, DM Consunji Inc., broke ground for the Laguna side in April.
