New Segments of Cavitex-C5 Link Underway
The Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC), a subsidiary of Metro Pacific
Tollways Corporation (MPTC), is not about to let the Covid-19 pandemic
affect its timeline for completion of segments of the Manila-Cavite
Expressway (Cavitex) C-5 Link Expressway.
Preparatory work has begun at Segment 3A-2 along the Manila International
Airport Authority (MIAA) area as well as the ground improvement work for
Segment 2, a 1.9-kilometer, 2x3 lane expressway from Cavitex Expressway to
a proposed interchange at Sucat.
Segment 3A-2 is a 1.6-kilometer, 2x3 lane expressway from Merville to RSG
Subdivision in Parañaque.
CIC aims to complete construction and open to motorists both Segments 2 and
3 by the second quarter of 2022 when it is expected to serve 50,000 cars
daily and reduce travel time from Las Piñas, Parañaque and the
Cavitex to Makati and Taguig from the average of an hour to just around 10
minutes.
Bobby Bontia, CIC President and General Manager, said they are doubling
efforts on the construction of Segment 2 and Segment 3A-2 while complying
with government directives on health protocols to ensure the safety of
around 200 workers undertaking the build in shifts 24/7.
