DPWH gives NLEX 4 days to finish Harbor Link Malabon Exit

MANILA: The Malabon Exit of the NLEX Harbor Link C3-R10 Section on Dagat-Dagatan Avenue will open this Friday, February 21, declared Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar.

The burden of completing this task falls on the shoulders of North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) chief operating officer Raul Ignacio.

This 2.6-kilometer link will serve as an alternate corridor for motorists, commercial vehicles, and trucks bound for the port area from NLEX and will reduce travel time to just 10 minutes.

“This inspection is in preparation for the opening of the C3 to Dagat-Dagatan portion, which is about 1.2 kilometers. We are making sure that all the safety features of the expressway are in place before we open it to the public,” said Villar.

The NLEX Harbor Link C3-R10 Section starts from Caloocan Interchange, C3 Road, Caloocan City to Radial Road 10, Navotas City, connecting to the previously opened 5.65-kilometer NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 that passes through Karuhatan, Valenzuela City, Governor Pascual Avenue in Malabon City, and 5th Avenue/C3 Road, Caloocan City. This whole stretch will be operational by March 2020.

“We are anticipating that truckers and freight forwarders will greatly benefit from this new road since their cargo trucks will have 24/7 access, and in turn translate to faster delivery of goods to and from the provinces in North and Central Luzon,” Ignacio said.
