The tollways unit of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. has embarked on enhancement works at the North Luzon expressway and Subic-Clark-Tarlac expressway (NLEx-SCTEx) as part of its continuing efforts to boost the safety and overall travel experience of motorists.
NLEX Corp. said improvements include toll plaza repainting, pavement replacement and crack sealing, and guardrail and fence repairs.
These are implemented on top of the company’s routine maintenance activities such as roadway sweeping, grass cutting, tree pruning, and oil spill and drainage cleaning..
The company said repainting works are underway for the chariots or concrete islands of toll plazas in NLEx Balintawak, Bocaue and Karuhatan.
Some cracks on pavements in select NLEx-SCTEx areas are undergoing sealing to minimize water intrusion that may weaken the structures, it added. The pavement at the southbound portion of Balagtas is also being replaced to ensure smoother and safer travel.
Guardrails and fences along the two expressways are being repaired to better protect motorists from roadside hazards.
