SMC Infrastructure said Monday it rolled out a traffic management plan in anticipation of a significant increase in vehicles on its expressways starting April 14, 2025, as many Filipinos travel from Metro Manila to provinces for the Holy Week.
The company said it coordinated with various local government units to implement the plan across the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR), South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), Skyway System, NAIA Expressway and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX).
SMC Infrastructure said it anticipates heavy traffic particularly at interchanges linking its tollways to national highways and other expressways and advised motorists to plan their trips well for the upcoming holidays.
“Our instruction to our operations personnel is to make sure that our traffic management plans are in sync with the different towns and cities so that traffic flows smoothly along public roads. When public roads are congested, motorists along our carriageways are also affected as traffic can extend to the exits and onto the main line,” said SMC chairman and chief executive Ramon Ang.
“We hope that through close and constant collaboration with traffic management teams of LGUs, we can help reduce traffic buildups especially at critical points of convergence within our towns and cities,” he said.
