Manila North Tollways Corp., builder and concessionaire of the North Luzon Expressway, opened on Thursday, the P1.59 billion Segment 9 of the NLEX Harbor Link, a 2.42-kilometer expressway that provides motorists an alternate access to Valenzuela City and Manila port areas through the NLEX.

Segment 9 connects NLEX from the Smart Connect Interchange to MacArthur Highway in Karuhatan, Valenzuela City. The new road is expected to serve  as many as 27,000 vehicles daily during the initial year and  ease traffic in major thoroughfares.

MNTC president Rodrigo Franco said that by linking NLEX and MacArthur Highway, “we expect to see increased economic activities in these areas since it will improve transport logistics through the more efficient movement of trucks.”

Segment 9 requires payment by motorists upon entry the same toll fees as those currently collected in the existing NLEX Open System. Toll will be as follows: Class 1: P45, Class 2: P114.00, Class 3: P136.00.
