The first 7.4-kilometer (km) of the Laguna segment of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) will be opening soon, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced on Tuesday.
Subsections 6, 7, and 8 of the Laguna segment of the 45.3-kilometer CALAX project will be already passable starting Oct. 30, said DPWH Secretary Mark A. Villar in a press briefing per a report by Business World.
The CALAX project will connect the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEx) from Kawit, Cavite to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) at the Mamplasan Interchange in Biñan, Laguna.
Reports further that the DPWH and the project’s concessionaire MPCALA Holdings, Inc. inspected the subsections of the Laguna segment Tuesday, which covered the Mamplasan Barrier onto Laguna Technopark Interchange, Laguna Boulevard Interchange all the way to Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Interchange.
“The project is 90% completed. The remaining 10% are portions of the expressway that need to be harmonized. We are fast-tracking those portions,” Villar said.
Around 10,000 cars are expected to enter and exit through these subsections, which will take about 10 minutes to drive.
