Establishing Full Connectivity from Cavite to Taguig PBBM Inspects Newly Opened CAVITEX C5 Link Segment 3B
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. inspected the newly opened final segment of the CAVITEX C5 Link.
The newly opened stretch runs from Airport View Subdivision to the Sucat Interchange in Parañaque City.
The project is a joint venture between Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation’s (MPTC) subsidiary, Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC), and the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA)
Joining the President in the inspection were Transportation Secretary Banoy Lopez; Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon; Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) Chairman Alex Lopez; MPTC President Emeritus Mr. Jose Maria Lim; MPTC President and CEO Gilbert Santa Maria; and Transportation Undersecretary Steve Pastor.
Segment 3B completes the 7.7-kilometer CAVITEX C5 Link. It connects Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) to C5 Road in Taguig City, reducing travel time from the usual 1.5 hours to just 15 minutes.
The opening follows the earlier completion of Segment 3A-1 (C5 Flyover to Merville), Segment 3A-2 (Merville to RSG and Airport View), and Segment 2 (Sucat Interchange to R1 Expressway) between 2019 and 2024.
To immediately serve the motoring public, Segment 3B will initially open under a modified scheme for a seamless bidirectional travel. Eastbound motorists will have direct access to Bonifacio Global City (BGC), while westbound travelers will have a smoother route toward Parañaque, Las Piñas, Bacoor, and Kawit, Cavite. Designed as a six-lane expressway (three lanes per direction), the at-grade section will temporarily operate with four lanes (two lanes per direction) while Right-of-Way (ROW) concerns are being addressed. Once the DPWH acquires the pending ROW, the remaining portion of the service road will also be completed and opened in its planned two-lane-per-direction configuration. Construction of the additional expressway lanes will then begin to complete the full six-lane capacity for the entire stretch.
