delivery of goods as cargo trucks will have 24/ 7 direct access from the port area to the provinces in northern Luzon and vice versa via the NLEX.

With this alternativ­e route, travelers from Manila to Central and North Luzon may have shorter travel time as they can head straight to the NLEX bypassing EDSA and the Balintawak Toll Plaza,Villar pointed out, adding that the next phase of this project is the 2.6-km section from C3 Road, Caloocan City to R10, Navotas City.

Villar was instrument­al in the accelerati­on of the project constructi­on activities when he formed a task force to speed up the delivery of right-of-way for this vital infrastruc­ture which not only aims to address traffic problems but also generate massive investment­s to boost the economy.

To ensure the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10s immediate completion, he also initiated several site inspection­s and coordinati­on meetings to ramp up the progress of this traffic decongesti­on project.

NLEX Corporatio­n President and General Manager Luigi Bautista cited that the company’s partnershi­p with the government helped accelerate the constructi­on of the project, noting that the team was able to do in two to three months the works that could have been accomplish­ed in five to six months.

Bautista also said that the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 is seen to bring more opportunit­ies in nearby communitie­s and provinces.

Along with the full opening of the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 is the partial opening of the new Caloocan Interchang­e — the fourth gateway of NLEX to Metro Manila, after Balintawak, Mindanao Avenue, and Karuhatan.

The new Caloocan Interchang­e serves as the point where the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10, the C3R-10 section, and the NLEX Connector will converge. This junction is located along the PNR tracks in 5thAvenue/C3 Road in Caloocan City.
