NLEX Corp. is spending P400 million this year to expand the capacity of Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway.
The company, which operates SCTEX, said it would build more lanes in Clark South A and South B exits; Clark North entry and exit; San Miguel northbound entry and exit; and Tarlac entry and exit.
NLEX said the construction would start on July 1 this year and be completed by November this year.
The construction of the Bamban Interchange, which will link the expressway to New Clark City, is also ongoing in time for country’s hosting of the Southeast Asian Games.
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority and NLEX earlier implemented several enhancement projects along the 94-kilometer SCTEX.
The projects include the NLEX-SCTEX integration in 2016, which reduced toll collection stops and improved travel time of motorists, the expansion of Tipo Toll Plaza and Mabiga Interchange, and the pavement rehabilitation of the entire expressway.
