The ceremonial walk of Cebu City Acting Mayor Michael Rama and Cordova Mayor Mary Therese Sitoy-Cho at the CCLEX main bridge.

But on October 29, 2021, Rama and Sitoy-Cho walked on a near 1-kilometer bridge to meet Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia in the middle. The Cebu Cordova Link Expressway made it possible. MPTC poured in over P30 billion for the project through Cebu City and Cordova as the concessionaire grantees. They will be given 50 years to manage the toll expressway under the concessionaire agreement.

Pangilinan said CCLEX will be an enabler of the region’s economic recovery amid the pandemic as it will open the region to business opportunities that can boost Cebu’s reputation as a global tourist destination. She offered the CCLEX’s success to her late father, former Secretary Adelino Sitoy, who envisioned the CCLEX years back and helped pave the way to its realization.

“It has always been my father’s dream that Cordova will become a city and I believe the Sto. Niño bridge will make that happen,” said Sitoy-Cho.Rama said that in the part of Cebu City, the connection of city to Cordova would allow Cebu City to help the town grow economically.
