NLEX Corp. said Friday that construction of the new 5-kilometer Candaba 3rd Viaduct was progressing smoothly and could be completed by November this year.
J. Luigi Bautista, NLEX president and general manager, said the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) Candaba 3rd Viaduct project was 92 percent complete.
“The Candaba 3rd Viaduct project reflects our commitment to enhancing travel convenience and safety for motorists,” Bautista said.
“We are thrilled to provide a safer and more efficient travel experience ahead of the holiday rush. We are grateful to all our partners, both in the private and public sectors, for their commitment to and support for this project.”
The tollway company has divided the project into three zones to ensure timely completion. Zone 1, or the Pulilan portion, was completed last August while zones 2 and 3, covering the Apalit area, are set to be finished by September and November, respectively.
For over 40 years, the Candaba Viaduct has been a crucial link between Pulilan in Bulacan and Apalit in Pampanga, with its two existing bridges catering to northbound and southbound motorists.
Construction of the 3rd Viaduct is part of NLEX’s broader initiative to enhance this vital infrastructure’s expressway serviceability, safety and reliability.
Other projects have been lined up or are under way in the province of Pampanga to improve travel experiences for expressway users and help decongest local roads.
