MNTC eyes NLEX-SCTEX Integration by Holy Week

MALOLOS CITY — Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC) eyes for the completion of the Php650 million integration project of the North Luzon (NLEX) and Subic-Clark-Tarlac (SCTEX) Expressways by March just in time for Holy Week.

“The integration project will provide seamless travel experience by bringing to SCTEX the NLEX’s world-class toll collection system and reducing toll plaza stops to two instead of five from Balintawak to Subic and back, and two instead of four from Balintawak to Tarlac and back,” MNTC Vice President for Marketing Renee Ticson said.

“During last year’s Holy Week rush, almost 230,000 vehicles were given a foretaste of the integration when we successfully implemented the Express Exit Scheme,” Ticson added.

As of press time, the project is 85% complete. (PIA 3)
