Road right-of-way for
the North Luzon Expressway Harbor Link Segment 10, an elevated expressway from
Manila to the NLEX, has been delivered, keeping the construction on track,
Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar said last week.
Villar announced that
the project “is getting close to completion now that the Dept. of Public Works
and Highways delivered 100 percent of the right-of-way (ROW) between Karuhatan,
Valenzuela City to C3 Road, Caloocan City.”
“We are happy that our
team was able to deliver 100 percent right-of-way for the NLEX Harbor Link
Segment 10. We hope we can finish this just in time for the Christmas rush to
help ease the public’s traffic woes,” Villar said.
NLEX Harbor Link Segment
10, which started in May 2014, aims to decongest Metro Manila by providing
access to NLEX without passing through EDSA or the Balintawak Toll Plaza.
It also aims to provide
better movement of cargoes from Port Area in Manila to the northern part of
Luzon. It will provide a direct connection between R10 (Radial Road 10) and
NLEX.
“NLEX Harbor Link
Segment 10 is composed of the 5.65-km elevated expressway traversing the NLEX
from MacArthur Highway Karuhatan, Valenzuela City, passing through Malabon City
and C3 Road, Caloocan City, and the 2.6-km section between C3 Road, Caloocan
City and R10, Navotas City,” Villar said.
Once opened, travel time
from the Manila Port to the NLEX will take approximately 10 minutes.
