Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. has spent an additional 15 percent on building the 44.57-kilometer Cavite-Laguna Expressway due to delays in civil works and increase in construction material prices. | TyronePiad /PDI
Subsection 4, which covers Silang East and Aguinaldo Interchanges, is at 64-percent completion.
MPTC subsidiary MPCALA Holdings Inc. , however, has yet to resolve the right-of-way issue for this portion of the toll road. The Pangilinan-led firm said this has stalled construction of the drainage and bridge, excavation and roadway earthworks, among others. “We’re still pursuing to complete the road in time for the Christmas rush to Tagaytay,” MHI president Raul Ignacio said.Lizo said the average daily vehicular volume in Calax was about 31,000, translating to P1.2 million in toll revenues per day. These figures are expected to rise with the opening of more interchanges and the increase in travels during the holiday rush.
Calax, a public-private partnership between DPWH and MHI, is a toll road linking Manila-Cavite Expressway and South Luzon Expressway.
