MPTC wants to build NLEX-Skyway 3 connector road
Stumped by the slow progress of San Miguel Corp. (SMC) in building the vital 1.2-kilometer Connector road linking the eight-kilometer North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) to SMC’s 18-kilometer Skyway Stage 3, Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC) now wants to build the connector road itself while looking for an alternative alignment that can cross the Pasig River.
“We don’t want to be held hostage by the connector,” MPTC chief financial officer Chris Lizo told reporters in an inspection tour Thursday, December 1.
While the 1.2 km connector road is not part of MPTC’s original concession and will cost at least P2 billion to build, the company has written to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) a couple of weeks ago, seeking approval for the undertaking.
“We’re willing to do the interconnection,” Lizo maintained. Toll Regulatory Board can amend its concession agreement with SMC to allow this.
