MPTC’s third Candaba viaduct seen operational by November 2024
June 22, 2023
NLEX Corp., a unit of Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC), said on Wednesday that its P7.89-billion Candaba Third Viaduct project in Pampanga is expected to be operational by November next year.
“Today together with our reliable contractor, Leighton, along with expert project consultants we aim to give our motorists immediate relief at the soonest possible time,” said NLEX Corp. President and General Manager Jose Luigi L. Bautista at the project’s groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday.
“We have reduced the completion period from the original 24 months to 22 months or even 21 months, so by November next year, that is when we envision this road to be operational,” he added.
The project is being implemented by NLEX Corp. and Hong Kong-based Leighton Asia and is covered by the NLEX concession deal.
The new road will be constructed between the two existing viaducts, thereby increasing the capacity of the Candaba viaduct to three lanes with inner and outer shoulders in each direction.
“This project will not only increase the capacity of the 5-km Candaba Viaduct but will ultimately improve safety and convenience of the motorists, as well as aid in the acceleration and growth of trade and commerce in Central Luzon,” said MPTC President and Chief Executive Rogelio L. Singson.
The Candaba Third Viaduct will have piers at every 20 meters, supported by two columns and two bored piles. This design is said to strengthen the structure, considering the swampy condition of the ground beneath the viaduct.
“This new mobility project will offer easy journeys and make travel safer for the public traveling between Metro Manila and Central and North Luzon as there will be a new structure to augment the existing ones and will safely allow the speed limit to increase to 60 to 80 kilometers per hour (km/h) from the current 40 to 60 km/h,” said Mr. Bautista.
Upon completion, class 3 vehicles or large trucks will be directed to the new viaduct to relieve the outer lanes of heavy loads.
The total project cost of P7.89 billion includes the construction cost, estimated between P6.1 billion to P6.2 billion, as well as the overhead and financing costs, according to Mr. Bautista.
On June 10, the Toll Regulatory Board approved the addition of P7 to the rate for the open system and 36 centavos per kilometer for the closed system, starting June 15.
Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling within the open system will pay an additional P7 for class 1 vehicles (regular cars and SUVs), P17 for class 2 (buses and small trucks), and P19 for class 3 (large trucks).
Meanwhile, travelers along NLEX within the closed system, covering Marilao to Mabalacat City, Pampanga, will pay an additional P26 for class 1 vehicles, P65 for class 2, and P77 for class 3.
