DPWH opens Malabon Exit of NLEX Harbor Link Segment on time

MANILA: As promised, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark A. Villar opened the Malabon Exit of the C3-R10 of the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 last February 21, 2020.

This new exit opened a month earlier and before the completion of the entire NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10, reduces travel time from North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) to Malabon, Caloocan, and Navotas to 10 minutes from the usual 30 minutes to almost one hour due to the daily traffic gridlock in these areas.

“We are opening this new Malabon Exit to provide immediate relief from the daily bumper-to-bumper traffic in the Camanava area, especially along the C3 Road. The entire 2.6-km. C3-R10 Section will be operational by March,” said Villar.

"The partnership of NLEX and DPWH is forever and the opening of this NLEX Harbor Link Malabon Exit is anticipated for public use," said NLEX Corp. officials led by president and general manager J. Luigi L. Bautista.

Aside from significantly easing the daily traffic congestion and serving as an alternative route to Dagat-Dagatan Avenue, the Malabon Exit also aims to open up development potentials in the area.

“This new Malabon Exit also ignited optimism for the future of the City of Malabon. We are happy with the opening of the Malabon Exit, which will definitely decongest traffic and improve the accessibility of our city from those coming from the North and Central Luzon areas,” said Malabon Mayor Antolin Oreta III.
