The C5 South Link Expressway will reduce travel time from R-1 Expressway to SLEX/C5 from 40 minutes to 10 minutes. The Laguna Lakeshore Road Network Project-Phase I involves the construction of a 51-kilometer road network along Laguna Lakeshore from Calamba to Bicutan, which will cater to the increasing traffic volume in the southern corridor of Metro Manila.
Three bridges have been completed – the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge, BGC-Ortigas Center Link Road Project and Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge. Costing P219 billion, it is the biggest and the single most expensive project of DPWH which aims to reduce travel time between Bataan and Cavite from five hours to 45 minutes bypassing Metro Manila.
Among the key projects critical to attaining this objective is the rehabilitation and replacement of Guadalupe and Lambingan bridges, under the JICA-funded Metro Manila Priority Bridges Seismic Improvement Project, set to commence this year.
