The construction of Phase 2 of the Cavitex C5 link segment 2, a 1.9 kilometer, 2x3 lane expressway that will connect Coastal Road (Cavitex R-I) from the Parañaque Toll Plaza to Sucat through R-I interchange, is set to begin soon.
The construction of the project was made possible through an agreement forged between the Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC) led by Raul Ignacio, president and general manager of CIC, and the China Road Bridge Corporation headed by its Philippine branch general manager Ren Xiaoping.
It is expected to reduce travel time to Sucat Road from Cavitex R-I and vice versa by 10 minutes.
The CIC and CRBC target to start phase 2 of the construction for the Cavitex C5 link segment 2 this Q1 of 2023 and aims to open it to the public before the end of the year.
"The CAVITEX C5 Link is a vital segment of the Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway Project (MCTEP). So far, we managed to open 3.8-kilometer (Segment 3A1 and 3A2) to the motoring public, serving more than 16,000 vehicles daily. Still, we have a long way to go. This is something we cannot do alone, hence, our search for a contractor that would be up to the task of delivering world-class quality infrastructure for our motorists within our timeline. We are glad that our new partner China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) took on the challenge," Ignacio said.
Ignacio said CRBC is a pioneer in the international engineering contracting market in China with a history of nearly 60 years.
He also said the company focuses on global civil engineering and construction projects such as roads, bridges, ports, tunnels, railways, municipal works, dredging, and airports.
Ignacio said CRBC has been in the Philippines for nearly 30 years and has done numerous projects in different regions which have stimulated the growth of the region with its quality and on-time construction.
Ignacio added that the Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX) Phase 1 Package 2, the Estrella- Pantaleon and Binondo-Intramuros Bridge are among them.
