NLEX Corp. said Tuesday it rolled out improvement projects to maintain the integrity and safety of its expressway network.
These initiatives, funded in part by toll, ensure the roads and infrastructure remain in top condition, prioritizing safety and convenience for motorists
“Ensuring safety and convenience is essential for providing a high-quality customer experience. While our routine inspections and repairs help prevent serious road issues, our comprehensive annual maintenance program helps enhance the quality of the roads,” NLEX officer-in-charge and chief financial officer Maria Theresa Wells said.
The tollway company’s heavy pavement maintenance program is in progress, with the Bocaue-Burol stretch completed.
Asphalt overlays to specific sections of NLEX and SCTEX are ongoing, while areas with minimal damage will receive patching as needed.
NLEX said it is repainting all its road infrastructure including bridge parapets, toll plaza barriers and concrete dividers.
Installation of new road signs is scheduled for completion in May, alongside refurbishments at the toll booths. Restoration works on guardrails and fences are also ongoing to prevent unauthorized access to the expressway.
Retrofitting works on 42 bridges along the expressway were completed in 2024, while repairs to the Marilao River Bridge expansion joints will be completed by March 2025.
NLEX is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC), the toll road arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC).
