MPCALA Holdings Inc., the concessionaire for the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), said Wednesday it signed an agreement with EEI Corp. and CM Pancho Construction Inc. (CMPCI) to complete the remaining construction work on the toll road.
EEI will oversee construction of Subsection 1, from Open Canal to Kawit, while CMPCI will handle Subsection 2, from Governor’s Drive to Open Canal.
The partnership marks a major step toward finishing the CALAX project, which is expected to improve connectivity and travel for motorists in Cavite and Laguna.
CALAX is a 45-kilometer expressway with operational segments at Laguna Technopark, Laguna Boulevard, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road, Silang East and Silang Aguinaldo Interchange.
The remaining subsections, including Subsection 3 from Silang Aguinaldo to Governor’s Drive, are under development and expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.
Once finished, CALAX will connect with the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit, providing a more efficient route for motorists traveling between Cavite, Laguna and Metro Manila. The entire expressway is expected to serve up to 95,000 vehicles daily, significantly improving travel times and boosting economic activity in the region.
MPCALA is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC). In addition to CALAX, MPTC’s domestic portfolio includes the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the NLEX Connector Road, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.
