CITY OF SAN FERNANDO,
Pampanga — The second phase of the Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLEX) worth
P13 Billion is expected to spur growth in the Eastern portion of Northern and
Central Luzon as it will link three expressways in the country and a national road
network, the sectoral committee on infrastructure development of the Regional
Development Council in Central Luzon bared recently.
The RDC said the 35-km
CLEX Phase 2 will link the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), the North
Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX), and
the Pan-Philippine Highway (PPH) or the Daang Maharlika Highway in Cabanatuan
City, Nueva Ecija.
The project, which
will run from Cabanatuan to San Jose City in Nueva Ecija, will be built under a
build-operate-transfer (BOT) program.
RDC said that the
project is an extension of the first phase of CLEX which was built last year by
the Japan Government Official Development Assistance (ODA) program.
“The project will make
the transfer of agricultural products from the North to central markets in the
National Capital Region,” the RDC said.
