CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar is optimistic that the construction of the North-East Luzon Expressway (NELEX) can be started by 2019.
“We’ll finish the feasibility study this year and construction to start (hopefully) next year,” the secretary said in a recent interview.
He said that once NLEE is completed, portions of Maharlika Highway in Bulacan and Nueva Ecija will decongest. “It will also serve as fast alternative route for those vehicles bound for Cagayan Valley region. This will be connected to the Central Luzon Link Expressway,” Villar added.
NLEE is a 92.1-kilometer toll road that will start in Quezon City will traverse San Jose Del Monte City, Santa Maria, Norzagaray, Angat, San Ildefonso, and San Miguel in Bulacan as well as Gapan, Santa Rosa, and Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija.
