Sangley Airport Expressway For DOTr Consideration

14 June 2019


Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC) will be submitting proposal to the Department of Transportation (DoTr)to construct the ₱20 Billion four-kilometer 4 lane Sangley Expressway to Manila.

The project proposal is a viaduct with an approximate length of 4.63 km. via a reclaimed road which intends to connect Cavitex to Sangley airport in Cavite City.



MPTC is the tollway operator of Cavite Expressway (Cavitex), a unit of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC).

Cavitex Infrastructure Corp. (CIC) President Luigi L. Bautista said they have completed the feasibility study for this road together with the 7.6-kilometer segment 5 road project and would submit the unsolicited proposal under Public Private Partnership (PPP) program of the government to the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), an Agency under the DOTr.


Bautista said the Sangley airport expressway is not covered by the approved concession agreement. Construction period will be two years from approval. Upon completion, it would reduce travel time to Sangley - Makati from 1 hour to 15 minutes.

"If amendment to the concession agreement is made to include this project, then it will be ready in 2022 before Duterte steps down from Office," says Bautista.

CIC disclosed that they already submitted to TRB the feasibility study for Segment 5 of CAVITEx which is an extension of the expressway from Kawit to Rosario, and may be extended up to Tanza and Naic.

Opening of Sangley airport is expected to generate additional 130 vehicular traffic to Cavite City per hour increasing to 400 vehicles by 2025.
