MANILA, Philippines — Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. unit NLEX Corp. is investing at least P2 billion to address traffic gridlocks in the congested portions of Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City. NLEX said the construction of a two-kilometer expressway section between the existing Mindanao Avenue toll plaza and Quirino Highway in Novaliches would commence soon. “The construction of this expressway section will be welcome news for NLEX commuters, who are facing daily traffic jams along Mindanao Avenue,” NLEX president Luigi Bautista said. The project is part of the 11.5-kilometer NLEX C-5 Link between Mindanao Avenue, Quirino Highway, Regalado Avenue, Congressional Avenue and C.P. The NLEX Connector is expected to reduce travel time from NLEX to South Luzon Expressway from two hours to only 20 minutes.
