NLEX Corporation is opening the NLEX Connector Espaรฑa to Magsaysay Section starting ๐ญ๐ฎ:๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ข๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ด.
The opening of the new section is in time for the expected surge of motorists for Undas and barangay election long weekends. This is also part of the โSafe Trip Mo Sagot Koโ motorist assistance program of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) which aims to enhance expressway services for a safer, faster, and more convenient travel.
“To alleviate the expected increase in traffic volume, we immediately decided to open the NLEX Connector Espaรฑa to Magsaysay Section. This should help improve the travel experience of motorists as this new section will make travel from Metro Manila to the North and vice versa, faster, and more convenient, especially this Undas,โ said NLEX Corporation President J. Luigi Bautista.
The tollway company will retain the current discounted rate of P86 for the NLEX Connector until further notice.
Providing a 24/7 alternative route to motorists in all vehicle classes, the opening of the additional 1.8km four-lane (2×2) NLEX Connector Espaรฑa to Magsaysay Section will help ease traffic congestion in Metro Manila, especially in major thoroughfares such as EDSA and C5.
Apart from cutting the travel time from C3 in Caloocan to Magsaysay Boulevard in Manila to just 8 minutes, it is seen to ease the traffic condition in Nagtahan, G. Araneta, Aurora Blvd, Lacson, Magsaysay and Espaรฑa Blvd. It will also help improve accessibility of motorists travelling from Manila, San Juan, and other nearby cities as they can enter the NLEX Connector Magsaysay Interchange on-ramp and head straight to the north via NLEX.
In total, the NLEX Connector currently has three interchanges located in C3 Road/5th Avenue in Caloocan, Espaรฑa and Magsaysay Blvd. in Manila.
NLEX Corporation is a subsidiary of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road arm of the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC).
