A portion of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) expansion will be opened by the third week of December, according to Ramon Ang, San Miguel Corp. (SMC) chairman and chief executive officer.
This portion spans 29 kilometers.
The new 6×6 lanes configuration of the SLEX from Susanna Heights, Muntinlupa to Calamba, Laguna, with two additional lanes on both southbound and northbound sides, is proceeding on schedule, Ang said.
Construction on the section from Calamba to Sto. Tomas, Batangas, as well as the expansion of some 20 bridges connecting the SLEX main carriageway, will be completed by July 2025, Ang said.
“The SLEX expansion is a major undertaking that entailed significant effort and investment, and a lot of patience and cooperation from motorists and stakeholders. We are very glad that motorists can soon enjoy faster trips to and from Southern Luzon,” he added.
Ang said ensuring that SLEX is fully operational throughout the construction period has been a consistent priority of the company. “Our contractors and project teams continue to do everything they can to minimize impact on vehicle traffic,” Ang said. “We want to assure our motorists that we will continue to work as efficiently as possible and minimize disruptions to their travel as we complete the expansion.”
