Subject: Two major expressway projects that would make travel faster from Manila to Ilocos and vise versa


TPLEX and the Skyway 3 connector project would make all this possible in a few years (about 3 years or so). TPLEX(Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway) is the expressway going to the Ilocos via NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) and SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway) while the Skyway 3 elevated expressway connects NLEX and SLEX (South Luzon Expressway) starting from Buendia in Makati to Balintawak in the northern part of Metro Manila. I am sure a lot of us from the Ilocos including myself who drive or take the bus to go to and from Manila are eagerly awaiting for the opening of these expressways for it would be faster and safer.

Depending of where you live in the Manila area, it takes about an hour or two to get into NLEX(North Luzon Expressway) which connect to the SCTEX/TPLEX in Mabalacat, Pampanga. Sometimes it could even take longer than 2 hours especially when you hit the road at the same time when the truckers are trying to get out of the Metro to beat the time they are supposed to be out of the Metro roads or if there is an accident.

The current administration has not done any big infrastructure project since Pres. Benigno Aquino became the president. It is nice to see that they are finally doing something to start these badly needed infrastructure projects since the president only have two more years to go. Construction for the two expressways are now both in full blast.

They also have another connector project that would connect NLEX and SLEX and I think the construction would start this year as well (sometime in the middle of the year). This expressway which would rival Skyway 3 would go through the western part of Manila via the Port of Manila and would also commence in Buendia, Makati.

Kudos to all the people who are making all these expressway projects possible for the benefit of the Filipino people. Of course there is a catch. You have to pay the tolls, but I think people would not mind paying since these expressways would be faster and safer to use than the other highways.
