Cavitex Infrastructure Corp. said Monday it expects to complete the second phase road enhancement of the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) by the second quarter of 2020.
The second phase of Cavitex road enhancement includes additional bridge lanes, which will widen the Parañaque, Wawa and Las Piñas bridges from three lanes to four lanes.
The first phase, which opened to motorists in December of 2018, included the Southbound flyover and Left Turning Facility toward Pacific Drive leading to D. Macapagal Avenue.
With the opening, the motorists immediately felt the ease in traveling to and from Parañaque, Las Piñas, and Cavite. Investment for the full Cavitex enhancement is estimated at P1.1 billion.
“Upon completion of the second phase of this project by second quarter of 2020, we will be able to make more room for motorists plying Cavitex, especially now that our traffic volume has increased by 9 percent since January 2019,” said CIC president and general manager Roberto Bontia.
