SCTEX-Maharlika link completed by July
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) aims to fully complete the connection between SCTEX and Maharlika Highway in July.
The Cabanatuan Section, or Contract Package 4, is 98 percent finished, with its final stages including key structures such as an interchange, three bridges, and multiple underpasses.
This 10.30-kilometer segment, part of the CLLEX Phase I project, experienced a nearly two-year delay due to right-of-way issues.
The 4.88-kilometer Zaragoza Interchange (Contract Package 5) is 73 percent complete and is expected to be finished by the third quarter of 2025.
The entire expressway is expected to cut travel time between Tarlac City and Cabanatuan City from 70 minutes to 20 minutes.
This project is anticipated to benefit over 11,200 motorists daily upon its full operationalization and is part of the government's Build Better More program, aimed at boosting logistics, linking farmlands to cities, and driving regional growth.
