Public Works Secretary Mark Villar said that about 30,000 motorists are expected to benefit from the new tollway once it opens in March.
"About 30,000 motorists per day will stand to benefit from this new road once the entire Harbor Link C3-R10 Section is fully completed, helping reduce travel time for the traffic-weary public, providing more turnaround trips for the trucking sector, and growing businesses for merchants and local communities," Villar said.
Concessionaire NLEX Corporation president and general manager Luigi Bautista said they agreed to fast-track the opening of the Malabon Exit ahead of the entire section to help alleviate traffic congestion in the area. "We are cognizant of the government's desire to find quick solutions to the traffic problem in Metro Manila. That is why aside from expediting the completion of the entire project, we have also rationalized our construction sequence and resource planning to accommodate the early opening of this Malabon Exit," Bautista said.
The C3-R10 section is the second phase of the NLEX Harbor Link tollway project that seeks to ease congestion in major Metro Manila roads bound for the Port Area.The next phase is the 8.35-kilometer Segment 8.2 which would connect Mindanao Avenue to Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City, cutting travel time from 45 minutes to 10 minutes. Construction is set to start this year. (READ:
