in less than a month, MPCALA Holdings Inc., the concessionaire of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), more than doubled its targeted daily traffic for Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange, which now serves over 11,000 vehicles per day.

This 4km segment of CALAX, which directly connects to Aguinaldo Highway, transports motorists towards tourist destinations in Tagaytay, Silang, Dasmarinas, and nearby cities and municipalities in Cavite.

Meanwhile, construction of the remaining portion of the CALAX Cavite Segment continues in full swing.

The next interchange will be a 7.9km 2×2 lane expressway that will extend from Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange to Governor’s Drive in General Trias.

Todate, more than 95% of the right-of-way for this segment has already been acquired, and the team has already begun earthworks and bridge construction.

“Governor’s Drive will be the second-longest segment of CALAX, spanning almost 8km in length,” says Raul L. Ignacio, President, and General Manager of MPCALA.

“We target to open it to the motoring public before the end of 2024. Through this interchange, we aspire to revolutionize our motorist travel experience, by connecting communities and helping improve the economy of the region,” he noted.

CALAX will connect with the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit, further unifying key regions.

Presently, operational segments span from Mamplasan Rotunda up to the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange.
