CLEX - Central Luzon Expressway

[timrev]

New expressway to benefit Nueva Ecija motorists
After years of enduring heavy traffic to and from Nueva Ecija, motorists can now heave a sigh of relief with the construction of an expressway that would link the province to major toll roads and highways in northern and central Luzon.
Called the Central Luzon Expressway (CLEx), the 64-kilometer road will be built from the Hacienda Luisita interchange of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) in Tarlac City to San Jose City in Nueva Ecija. It will be built in two phases.
Reports from the regional Philippine Information Agency (PIA) said the investment coordination committee of the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) approved the P34.8-billion CLEx project in December last year.
It said the project’s first phase, which runs from Tarlac City to Cabanatuan City, would be funded by a possible loan assistance from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The PIA report quoted Bulacan Governor Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado, chair of the committee on infrastructure development of the Regional Development Council (RDC), as saying that the project’s second phase will be implemented through a build-operate-transfer (BOT) scheme. This phase runs from Cabanatuan to San Jose.
When completed, the CLEx will link Maharlika Highway in Cagayan Valley and the main highway to Aurora province to the SCTEx, North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) and the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx).
The CLEx will pass through parts of Tarlac City and La Paz town in Tarlac; Zaragoza, Aliaga, Cabanatuan City, Talavera, Sto. Domingo, and the Science City of Muñoz before it ends in San Jose, all in Nueva Ecija.
In a recent meeting of the RDC, PIA reports said Aurora Gov. Bellaflor Angara-Castillo supported the project, saying it would help boost the transport of goods and push the development of the eastern part of Luzon.
Zambales Gov. Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. asked his fellow governors in the region to unite and press the government for more infrastructure improvements in Central Luzon, saying the region is among the major economic drivers of the country.
Ebdane, a former secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways, said good roads would help drive tourism in the region, which is strategically located because of its proximity to Metro Manila.

The other expressway will connect Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija to San Jose City in Bulacan. To be located at the edge of SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway), the Central Luzon East project will be an addition to the extension that we are doing in Plaridel,” Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson said on Monday during his presentation before the Senate committee on finance.
“The whole objective is to make a our produce coming from Region 2 easily accessible to Metro Manila markets,”

If coming from Manila, dadaan muna ng Tarlac to go to Cabanatuan City. Napalayo yata.

oo nga na noh halos 10miles ang layo pag from manila to san jose nlex+sctex+clex..yun lang walang trafic...pwede magpatakbo ng matulin sa expressway

[IMm29]

Isnt this similar to the way SCTEx made the trip to Subic faster but farther?

Mas malayo pero mas nakakatipid sa gas, oras at maintenance ng sasakyan. San Jose to Manila via Bulacan parusa ang biyahe diyan sobrang trapik ansama pa ng mga kalsada.

[dfopiso]

^ dahil ba kay Pnoy

[boybi]

Based on the map, the CLEX will connect to the Tarlac City Exit of SCTEX. What's the light blue line? Is that another expressway?

[dfopiso]

^ baka another phase ng CLEx na beyond sa term ni Pnoy

[jrn29]

ang laking ginahawa samin nito kapag nag kataon . ang dali lang lumuwas ng manila...

palagi kasi traffic sa Bulacan , minsan naabutan kami ng traffic. sa sasakyan ka na talaga matutulog peru hanggang umaga. wala parin usad :hammer:

kaya sa Arayat kami dumadaan kaya lang medyu Malayo nga lang :sweat:
kaya kung mag kakaruon ng CLEX ginhawa talaga lumuwas at bumalik ng nueva ecija

From the Tarlac City Entry/Exit point of SCTEX to NLEX Balintawak, it's around 1hr 30min of travel time if there's no obstacles encountered along the way. I'm assuming the Cabanatuan-Tarlac portion of CLEX will take around 30min of travel time, so that would be 2hrs from Cabanatuan City to Balintawak traversing CLEX-SCTEX-NLEX.

How long is it now to travel from Cabanatuan City to Balintawak if you take the Cabanatuan-Sta. Rosa-Gapan roads?

you mean via Sta Rita Exit? mga 2.5 Hours during daytime and 1.5 hours if midnight to dawn. Dami kasi trike along bulacan towns pag umaga at tanghali. Pag gabi naman, ang daming truck. much better route ang san simon exit. pwedeng 2 hours during daytime at wala masyado traffic. Sa sta ana ka lang halos mattraffic. mas murang daan din siya compare sa Nlex-Sctex route.

btw, sabi sa Inquirer (New expressway to benefit Nueva Ecija motorists | Inquirer News), which Tim posted sa top of this thread, sa Luisita mag-umpisa

The light blue line is another expressway connecting Commonwealth in QC to Cabanatuan in NE.

I believe this is being built by San Miguel Corp

I am from NE and I am looking forward to using these expressways.

Kudos to the govt
