President Marcos led significant infrastructure events on Friday, including the groundbreaking of the CAVITEX-CALAX Link and CAVITEX C5 Link Segment 3B, as well as the inauguration of the CAVITEX C5 Link Sucat Interchange.
CAVITEX is the expressway that connects Manila to Cavite, while CALAX links the provinces of Cavite and Laguna.
“So, I stand here today to deliver on that promise with the groundbreaking of the CAVITEX-CALAX Link in Kawit, Cavite, and the CAVITEX C5 Link Segment 3B in Parañaque City, and of course, the inauguration of the CAVITEX C5 Link Sucat Interchange,” the President said during the ceremony.
“These three milestone projects bring to reality our promise to transform the lives of millions of Filipinos, by systematically easing traffic flow in the greater Metro Manila area,” he added.
The CAVITEX-CALAX Link, a 1.2-kilometer connector from Kawit, Cavite, aims to enhance connectivity to the CALABARZON region and alleviate traffic at Tirona Highway and Centennial Road.
The newly opened CAVITEX C5 Link Sucat Interchange will reduce travel time from CAVITEX R1 to Sucat, Parañaque to just five minutes, benefiting around 23,000 vehicles daily.
Additionally, the CAVITEX C5 Link Segment 3B is expected to slash travel time from CAVITEX R1 to SLEX/C5 Road from 40 minutes to 10 minutes.
President Marcos reaffirmed his commitment to “Build Better More,” aiming to create a connected and vibrant Philippines for future generations.
The projects are a collaborative effort of the Philippine Reclamation Authority, Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation, and Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation.
