SMC opens NAIAx Tramo access ramp to ease traffic

-

SAN Miguel Corp.’s (SMC) infrastruc­ture arm officially opened the new access ramp of the Ninoy Aquino Internatio­nal Airport (NAIA) Expressway or NAIAx on Tramo in Pasay City. This was expected to ease traffic in the area and provide seamless access to the country’s main internatio­nal gateway and other areas.

SMC President and Chief Executive Officer Ramon Ang explained the importance of the 800-meter access ramp for motorists, particular­ly for those using EDSA southbound coming from Makati or northbound coming from Entertainm­ent City.

Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan led the inaugurati­on of the new access ramp and credited the company for supporting the government’s efforts to build vital infrastruc­ture to sustain the country’s economic growth.

Bonoan said further improvemen­ts on NAIAx are being studied by their agency as grantor of the concession, in partnershi­p with SMC, to improve the flow of traffic to airport terminals, given growing demand.

“The Department of Public Works and Highways will always be there to support and implement these projects to improve traffic flow, especially here in Metro Manila,” he said.

For his part, Ang remained firm in the company’s commitment to work closely with the government, as it pursues infrastruc­ture projects that benefit Filipinos.

The NAIA expressway is an 11-kilometer elevated toll road that connects the Skyway System to the three passenger terminals of NAIA, the country’s main internatio­nal gateway, as well as to Pasay’s Entertainm­ent City, Macapagal Boulevard, Sucat Road in Parañaque City and the road network to Cavite province.
