MPCALA Holdings Inc., operator of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), is implementing new toll rates at the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange beginning 10 February at 12 a.m.
“The implementation of these toll rates aids in the continuous maintenance and enhancement of our toll road while ensuring efficient and safe travel for our users,” Raul L. Ignacio, president and general manager of MPCALA, said.
“The Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange has become a vital part of our network, significantly enhancing the connectivity and economic landscape of the region,” he added.
According to the Toll Regulatory Board, the provisional toll rates to be collected at the new Subsection 4 of Calax is P17 for class 1 vehicles, P35 for class 2 vehicles and P52 for class 3 vehicles.
The new subsection is a four-lane expressway with an approximate length of 3.9 kilometers starting from the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange to Silang East Interchange in Cavite.
The Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange, a critical section of the CALAX, connects directly to Aguinaldo Highway, facilitating smoother and faster travel to key tourism destinations in Cavite, including Tagaytay and Silang.
It was opened to motorists last November 8 toll-free until further notice. CALAX has surpassed its target daily traffic at the recently inaugurated subsection with a daily count of 12,000 vehicles—well beyond the projected 5,000 cars and has become an essential component of the region’s infrastructure.
Looking ahead, CALAX will span over 45 kilometers by 2025 featuring eight strategically positioned interchanges: Technopark, Laguna Boulevard, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road, Silang East, Silang (Aguinaldo), Governor’s Drive, Open Canal, and Kawit Interchange. CALAX will seamlessly 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.
MPCALA Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), is the lead mobility infrastructure and solutions provider in the Philippines.
