Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) has embarked on two significant road projects that promise to ease traffic and make travel smoother for motorists. These new link roads aim to provide alternatives to congested city centers, offering a much-needed reprieve for drivers in the southern cities of Metro Manila and Cavite.

The first project is the CAVITEX-C5 Link Road, a 2-kilometer, six-lane road that will connect C5 Road in Taguig to the Para&ntilde;aque section of CAVITEX. This new route is expected to benefit those traveling between Cavite and Taguig, providing a faster and more efficient journey. The project, with a budget of P3.3 billion, is set to be completed by August 2025.
The second project, the CAVITEX-CALAX Link Extension, is a 1.3-kilometer, four-lane road connecting the CALAX Terminus in Kawit to CAVITEX. This extension aims to decongest traffic around Tirona Highway and Centennial Road, making travel between Laguna and Cavite quicker by bypassing busy national highways.
