Marcos inaugura el segmento 3B del Cavitex-C5 Southlink

El presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr. inauguró ayer el segmento 3B del Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway-C5 Southlink, lo que reduce el tiempo de viaje de Parañaque a Bonifacio Global City en Taguig de aproximadamente una hora y media a 15 minutos. El segmento estará exento de peaje hasta finales de abril para ayudar a los filipinos que viajan durante la Semana Santa. Marcos destacó su papel en el ahorro de combustible en medio de los precios al alza.

En Manila, Marcos inspeccionó el tramo de dos kilómetros del segmento 3B junto con el secretario de Obras Públicas, Vince Dizon, y el secretario interino de Transporte, Giovanni López. La apertura completa todos los segmentos del CAVITEX C5 Link, que se espera que gestione alrededor de 36,000 vehículos diariamente. "Y no es un asunto menor reducir el tiempo de viaje de una hora y media a 15 minutos. Eso es un gran ahorro", dijo Marcos a los periodistas en filipino. Explicó que esto respalda el Paquete Unificado para Medios de Vida, Industria, Alimentos y Transporte (UPLIFT, por sus siglas en inglés) del gobierno bajo la Orden Ejecutiva 110. Marcos emitió la OE 110 el 24 de marzo, declarando un estado de emergencia energética nacional debido al impacto del conflicto en Oriente Medio en los precios del combustible. Añadió que la autopista ofrece ahorros significativos en gasolina y petróleo crudo. López declaró que reduciría la congestión vehicular en el área de Kaingin y proporcionaría conexiones fluidas desde Cavite hasta C5 en Taguig, así como acceso directo a Sucat y Merville en Parañaque. Dizon señaló que el Departamento de Obras Públicas y Carreteras y el Departamento de Transporte planean abrir más autopistas, incluida la Central Luzon Link Expressway desde Tarlac City hasta Cabanatuan City el martes, para facilitar los viajes de Semana Santa y reducir los costos de combustible.
