MPCALA Holdings Inc., the
concessionaire of the Cavite-Laguna
Expressway (CALAX), has announced
that, in less than a month, it has already
surpassed its targeted daily traffic for
the recently opened Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange, with the highest daily traffic exceeding11,000 vehicles—well beyond the projected 5,000 cars.
This 4km segment of CALAX, which
directly connects to Aguinaldo Highway, seamlessly transports motorists towards tourist destinations in
Tagaytay, Silang, Dasmarinas, and other nearby cities
and municipalities in the province of Cavite.
Meanwhile, MPCALA states that construction
for the remaining portion of the CALAX Cavite
Segment continues in
full swing. The next interchange will be a 7.9km
2×2 lane expressway that
will extend from Silang
(Aguinaldo) Interchange to
Governor’s Drive in General Trias.
As of the date,
more than 95% of the
right-of-way for this segment has already been acquired, and the team has
already begun earthworks
and bridge constructions.
“ G o v e r n o r ’ s
Drive will be the second-longest segment of
CALAX, spanning almost
8km in length. We target
to open it to the motoring public before the end
of 2024. Through this interchange, we aspire to
revolutionize our motorist
travel experience, by connecting communities and
helping improve the economy of the region,” shared
Mr. Raul L. Ignacio, President, and General Manager of MPCALA.
Looking forward,
CALAX is set to reach a total length of 45 kilometers
by 2025, featuring eight
strategically positioned interchanges: Technopark,
Laguna Boulevard, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road,
Silang East, Silang (Aguinaldo), Governor’s Drive,
Open Canal, and Kawit
Interchange. CALAX will
seamlessly connect with
the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in
Kawit, further unifying key
regions. Presently, operational segments span from
Mamplasan Rotunda up to
the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange.
