Your daily commute may just get a tad easier (and faster), especially to those residing in Taguig and nearby areas.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has two on-going road constructions along Taguig: the C5 South Link and the C5 Expressway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

C5 South Link<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0C5 South Link\u00a0<\/strong>is a\u00a07.7-kilometer toll road that will span CP Garcia, Taguig to Sucat, Para\u00f1aque, connecting Cavitex via Merville and Sucat. According to DPWH Secretary Mark Villar,\u00a0the\u00a02.2-kilometer segment\u00a0of the road is targeted to open to the public by July 23.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Said segment, known as\u00a0Segment 3A1,<\/strong>\u00a0features the bridge that crosses over Skyway at-grade and SLEX.<\/p>\n

This will decongest Sales Road, as well as the East and West Service roads, enabling motorists to cross from Para\u00f1aque to Taguig (and vice versa) faster.<\/p>\n

\"\"The C5 South Link spans\u00a0Taguig to Sucat, Para\u00f1aque<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVehicular traffic spends about 1.5hours just to cross from Villamor to Taguig via Fort Bonifacio. This section alone will help about 5,000 vehicles easily cross in under 3 minutes,\u201d said Villar in a press release. He also\u00a0added that the targeted toll fee for Segment 3A1 is between Php 20 to Php 22<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby Bontia, President and General Manager of Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC), also stated that an estimated 50,000 cars in key areas in Metro Manila will greatly benefit once the C5 South Link is finished. These include Makati, Taguig, Las Pi\u00f1as, Pasay and Para\u00f1aque, even EDSA.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The C5 South Link, a Php10-billion project awarded by the DPWH to CIC, was originally scheduled to be completed by 2022, but is now set to be finished by the fourth quarter of 2021—all due to the efforts of DPWH to fast-track its construction.<\/p>\n

C5 Expressway<\/strong><\/h3>\n

DPWH is also constructing a 20-kilometer\u00a0elevated expressway\u00a0<\/strong>that will span from the end of NLEX Segment 8.2 in Quezon City to C5 South Link in Taguig called the\u00a0C5 Expressway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the expressway is complete, motorists can seamlessly travel from North to South, and vice versa. This will also reduce the two-hour travel time via C5 road to just 15 minutes even at rush hours.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the expressway will serve as an\u00a0alternative to reach Metro Manila’s business districts, airports, major educational institutions, and residential areas.<\/p>\n

The C5 Expressway is part of the C5 Circumferential Expressway alignment that is a crucial component of the Metro Manila Urban Expressway Network.<\/p>\n
