(SMC) is gearing up for a massive expansion that will increase capacity of its southern Metro Manila toll roads, in its bid to help the government ease traffic congestion in the metropolis.<\/p>\n

SMC\u2019s infrastructure arm, San Miguel Holdings Corp., aims to complete expansion plans for the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), Skyway system, NAIA Expressway (NAIAeX) and the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (SLEX) within three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll technical studies for the expansion of all our southern Metro Manila toll roads are now complete and ready for construction. We\u2019re just waiting to get final approval for each of these projects from the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB),\u201d SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang in a statement.<\/p>\n

The SMC is looking to widen SLEX to 10 lanes, expand the elevated Skyway from Alabang to Sucat by two lanes as well as extend it to the Alabang viaduct, extend the new NAIA Expressway all the way to Bonifacio Global City (BGC), and build Skyway downramp to BGC\/C5 Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these projects are ready for implementation. These are all just improvements\/extensions of existing expressways, so we are hoping that the TRB can review and act on our submissions at the soonest possible time,\u201d Ang said.<\/p>\n

These projects are expected to decongest not just traditional chokepoints along the expressway network –such as the Alabang viaduct, the Sucat and Bicutan interchanges, Magallanes, the C5 entrance and exit to SLEX, and the NAIAx entry to Skyway\u2014but more importantly, traffic on public roads leading to these major entry and exit points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re committed to finishing these on schedule, and we are confident that these projects will greatly improve the traffic situation in Metro Manila which our countrymen have had to endure for many, many years,\u201d Ang added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
