Counterflow Schemes to be Implemented in Cavitex on Sept. 15-25

MANILA: Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC), the concessionaire of the Manila-Cavite Expressway (Cavitex), will begin the girder launching activity for the Cavitex C5 Link Segment 2 R1 Interchange this month.

CIC will implement counterflow schemes at the Parañaque Toll Plaza on September 15 to 25, from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. The scheme will be implemented for Manila-bound traffic from September 15 to 19, and for Cavite-bound traffic from September 19 to 25. To mitigate traffic congestion during the activity, CIC will activate counterflow lanes as needed.

“Cavitex C5 Link Segment 2, once completed by the first quarter of 2024, will help cut travel time to Sucat Road from Cavitex (Coastal Road) and vice versa by 10 minutes, making daily commutes more efficient and seamless for our motorists,” CIC President and General Manager Raul Ignacio stated.

The R1 Interchange is a 1.9-kilometer segment of the Cavitex C5 Link project, a 7.7-kilometer, 2x3-lane expressway that will connect Cavitex R1 to C5 Road in Taguig City. It is expected that the Cavitex C5 Link will serve over 50,000 vehicles per day once it is fully operational. This will reduce travel times to and from Makati and Taguig from Parañaque City, Las Piñas City, and Cavite, thereby alleviating traffic congestion in Metro Manila.

CIC is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road development arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC). Aside from Cavitex and Cavitex C5 Link, MPTC also owns the concessions for Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic-Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), NLEX Connector Road, and Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX).
