CALAX Subsection 3 now open

New segment boosts South Luzon transport network connectivity

CALAX Subsection 3 now open

MANILA: The Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) Subsection 3 is now open.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What is CALAX Subsection 3 and why is it important?

    CALAX Subsection 3 is a newly opened 7.88-kilometer segment of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway that connects Biñan, Laguna to General Trias, Cavite. It improves connectivity in South Luzon and helps reduce travel time between these areas from about one hour to around 26 minutes.
  • Will motorists be charged toll fees on CALAX Subsection 3?

    No, toll fees for CALAX Subsection 3 will be waived for one month after its opening. However, motorists will still need to pay applicable toll fees when passing through other operational sections of CALAX.

    Travelling from Biñan, Laguna to General Trias, Cavite can be done in just 26 minutes instead one hour when using the 7.88-kilometer portion.

    The newly-inaugurated CALAX Subsection 3—which is eyed to accommodate 6,000 motorists daily—provides an alternate route for commuters and businesses by bypassing locals roads within Cavite.

    Other stories:

    Leading the CALAX Subsection 3 opening ceremonies was President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

    In a statement, the toll operator mentioned that the entire 44.6-kilometer CALAX project will eventually link the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) in Mamplasan. This network features eight strategic interchanges namely:

    • Laguna Technopark
    • Laguna Boulevard
    • Santa Rosa–Tagaytay
    • Silang East, Silang (Aguinaldo)
    • Governor’s Drive
    • Open Canal
    • Kawit

    Once integrated, the combined CALAX-CAVITEX network is projected to serve up to 95,000 vehicles per day.

    Further, the CALAX Subsection 3 (Governor’s Drive Interchange to Aguinaldo Interchange stretch) will not collect toll fees for one month across all classes. However, motorists need to settle the existing fees for CALAX Subsections 4 to 8 (Mamplasan in Biñan, Laguna to Silang, Aguinaldo) in Cavite.
