BCDA to invest P1 billion in SCTEX upgrades

The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) plans to invest P1 billion in upgrading the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) over the next two years.

This significant allocation is intended to address the rising traffic volume on the expressway.

A substantial portion of the budget, approximately P750 million, will be dedicated to the expansion and construction of three key interchanges.

Among these is the Luisita Interchange in Tarlac City, which will be transformed into a full trumpet interchange.

The completion of the Luisita Interchange will include the addition of northbound entry and southbound exit ramps, improving connectivity for motorists.

Currently, the Luisita Interchange has limited access, restricting northbound entry from MacArthur Highway and southbound exit for vehicles from Tarlac City.

The planned upgrades will provide enhanced access to crucial industrial hubs and township developments in the area, such as Luisita Industrial Park, Cresendo by AyalaLand, and TARI Estate by Aboitiz Infracapital.
