have 8 main interchanges (Silang
East, Pook, Aguinaldo, Amadeo,
Mendez, Alfonso, Magallanes,
Nasugbu), and two spur roads

“Our objective in proposing this road
is connectivity, providing thousands (L-R) Usec DPWH Maria Catalina E. Cabral,
of motorists an alternative route to Sec DPWH Mark A. Villar,
and from region 4A. It is a sensible MPTS President J. Luigi L. Bautista
connection to CALAEX, as both
alignments will decongest traffic in
Cavite, Laguna and Batangas. More
so, it will spur jobs generation
brought about by tourism, trade and
commerce. This awarding of the
Original Proponent status of CTBEX
is just the beginning, we are
cognizant that this proposal will still
be subject to NEDA approval,
successful negotiation with DPWH

on the terms of the concession and
lastly, a Swiss challenge; all of which
should be completed by the 2nd
quarter of 2019, and subject to the
acquisition of the right of way, 2020
is the target date of construction ”
said Luigi Bautista, President and
CEO of Metro Pacific Tollways South.
“Once completed, CTBEX will be the
preferred route for motorists going
to Tagaytay and Nasugbu from
Manila and vice versa as this will
seamlessly connect to CALAEX and
CAVITEX”, added Mr. Bautista.

MPT South Corporation is currently
constructing the Cavite Laguna
Expressway which will connect to
Cavitex and the C5-Southlink that
will enable transfers from Laguna,
Cavite, Manila, Las Piñas, Parañaque
and Taguig to be seamless.
