Phase two of the NAIA Expressway Project — a four-lane elevated expressway which will connect Macapagal Boulevard to NAIA Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and end at Entertainment City — is expected to open within a hundred days of the Duterte administration, according to Department of Public Works and Highways secretary Mark Villar.
“We are in the process of doing safety checks. With the help of DOTC, we are confident that the public would soon be able to access a key phase of the NAIA Expressway Project within the first 100 days of President Rodrigo R. Duterte,” Villar said.
The NAIA Expressway Project, which costs PHP17.9 billion, is a four lane, 7.75-kilometer elevated expressway and 2.22 kilometer at-grade road project which would traverse Sales Avenue, Andrews Avenue, Paranaque River, MIAA Road and Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard.
When all phases are completed, the NAIA Expressway Project is expected to provide easy access to and from NAIA Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4 and would interface with the South Luzon Expressway thru Sales Interchange, Manila Cavite Toll Expressway (CAVITEX), and Macapagal Boulevard.
NAIA Expressway will significantly reduce average travel time between Skyway/SLEX and NAIA Terminal 1 from approximately 24.3 minutes to 8.2 minutes and will benefit 80,000 travelers per day.
The project was awarded to conglomerate San Miguel Corporation through its subsidiary and concession firm Vertex Tollways Development Inc. with civil works contractor D.M. Consunji, Inc. in partnership with Design Science Inc. and Pertconsult International. With a report from Philippine News Agency
