Parañaque City,
Philippines – Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation
(CIC), the concessionaire
of the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), is
set to commence the girder launching activity for the
CAVITEX C5 Link Segment 2 R1 Interchange.
Scheduled from
September 15 to September 25, 2023, between
10 PM to 4 AM, CIC will
implement counterflow
schemes at the Parañaque
Toll Plaza. The scheme
will be in effect from September 15 to 19, 2023, for
Manila-bound traffic, and
from September 19 to 25,
2023, for Cavite-bound
traffic. To alleviate congestion during the activity, CIC
will activate counterflow
lanes as needed.
CIC President
and General Manager, Mr.
Raul L. Ignacio, emphasized, “CAVITEX C5 Link
Segment 2 once completed by the first quarter of
2024 will help cut travel
time to Sucat Road from
CAVITEX (Coastal Road)
and vice versa by 10 minutes, making daily commutes more efficient and
seamless for our motorists.”
The R-1 Interchange is a vital 1.9-kilometer segment (Segment
2) of the CAVITEX C5 Link
project, a 7.7-kilometer,
2×3 lane expressway set
to connect CAVITEX R1 to
C5 Road in Taguig. Once
CAVITEX C5 Link is fully
completed, it is anticipated
to serve over 50,000 vehicles per day, significantly reducing travel times
to and from Makati and
Taguig from Parañaque
City, Las Piñas City, and
Cavite Province, ultimately easing traffic congestion
within Metro Manila.
CIC is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation
(MPTC) – the leading mobility infrastructure and
solutions provider in the
Philippines. It is the toll
road development arm of
Metro Pacific Investments
Corporation (MPIC). Aside
from CAVITEX and CAVITEX C5 Link, MPTC also
holds concession rights
for the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), the
North Luzon Expressway
(NLEX), the Subic-Clark
Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), the NLEX Connector Road, and the
Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in
Cebu.
