NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 to be completed in Q3
The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) Harbor Link Segment 10 is expected to be completed in the third quarter of the year, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said Tuesday.
DPWH Secretary Mark Villar said the Harbor Link Segment 10 will be completed in the next two to four months.
“We’re hoping we can possibly soft open by the SONA, but definitely by the third quarter of this year, fully tapos na ‘yan, fully open,” he told reporters during a press conference.
Sought for more details on the possible soft opening to coincide with President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) in July, Villar said the details are still being discussed.
The Harbor Link Segment 10 is an elevated expressway linking the MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela City and the C3 Road in Caloocan City, which will cater mostly to delivery trucks.
“Ang expectation natin, minimum 30,000 cars a day, highest 50,000 na gagamit sa Harbor Link. So ‘yung mga trucks na dating dumadaan sa C5, dumadaan sa Manila, dumadaan sa Quezon City, dadaan nalang sila NLEX via sa Harbor Link,” Villar said.
According to the government's Build, Build, Build website, the project is a 5.58-kilometer, six-lane, elevated expressway which will utilize the existing PNR railroad tracks that cut across the cities of Valenzuela and Malabon.
It is expected to reduce the travel time from Valenzuela City to Caloocan City to 5 minutes from the one hour.
The project is a public-private partnership (PPP) initiative of the government with Manila North Tollways Corp. (MNTC) which has shelled out nearly P12 billion for the development.
“Ten billion pesos on construction side and two billion pesos on other expenditures including financing cost during construction,” MNTC president and CEO Rodrigo Franco told reporters separately.
“Definitely, beneficial ... especially to vehicles going to the port. They can use this. Coming from NLEX, they can use this and go to the port,” he said.
Manila North Tollways Corp. (MNTC) said the Harbor Link Segment 10 is expected to be completed in the next five months based on current developments.
“Right of way, 90 percent. Construction, mga 75 (percent). Kaunti nalang talaga. Third quarter to mga October. ‘Yan lang kasi ang crucial pa rin ang remaining 10 percent ng right of way,” Franco noted.
Once the additional segment is operational, he said motorists may expect to pay an additional P6 or P7, but nothing has been finalized. —VDS, GMA News
