    Objectives of the Project

    The Skyway 3 (formerly the North and Central Elevated Expressway) Project is expected :
    1. to alleviate the worsening traffic condition along Metro Manila's major road
    arteries;
    2. to provide a direct link between the South Super Highway and North Diversion
    Road (or North Luzon Tollway) via the central portion of Metro Manila; and
    3. to provide improved access to and between outlying cities of Metro Manila.

    The proposed Skyway 3 Project is one of the major infrastructure projects of the
    Department of Public Works and Highways due for implementation. Because of the
    limitation of financial resources of the Government, some of the most important
    infrastructure projects cannot be implemented on schedule; hence it decided to tap the
    financial resources of the private sector. The DPWH intends to implement the project
    through Build Operate Transfer or BOT.


    Alignment Description

    The proposed project traverses four (4) cities, namely;
    • City of Manila,
    • City of Mandaluyong,
    • Quezon City and
    • Caloocan City.

    The alignment commences at the end point of Skyway 1 at South Super Highway and
    runs along Quirino Avenue. From the intersection, it runs along the northeast
    direction towards Pandacan. After crossing Estero de Pandacan, the alignment veers
    northwards, still along Quirino Avenue and crosses Pasig River at Nagtahan passing
    through Sta. Mesa Road crossing San Juan River. The alignment then intersects with
    Araneta Ave. or Circumferential Road C-3 crossing Aurora Blvd. From the
    intersection, the alignment follows the direction of Araneta Ave. continuously changing
    from Northeast to Northwest direction until it reaches Sgt. Rivera St. From the
    junction, the alignment runs along A. Bonifacio Ave. crossing EDSA until it joins with
    the North Luzon Expressway.

    The project expressway spans approximately 17.69 kilometers.

    The proposed alignment for the North and Central Elevated Expressway will
    run parallel to the following existing road sections:


    a) Buendia – Quirino Avenue L = 3.26 km
    b) Quirino - Sta. Mesa Road - Aurora Blvd L = 4.38 km
    c) Araneta Avenue L = 4.87 km
    d) Sgt. Rivera St. L = 1.41 km
    e) A. Bonifacio Avenue L = 1.64 km
    f) North Luzon Tollway L = 2.13 km
    =============================================
    TOTAL LENGTH L = 17.69km

    Project Cost

    The total construction cost of the 4-lane Skyway, 17.69 kms based on 2008 prices, is estimated
    at P36.986B. Cost of right-of-way is estimated at P3.284 Billion.

    C5 was suppose to connect SLEX and NLEX.

    Then there is C7.

    If this will be completed, this will be a shorter route.

    Gawin sana nilang lahat yan. Dapat parang sa abroad, maraming alternate routes. Sobrang inadequate at primitive ng road systems natin.

    One example we should follow is the road system in Bangkok Thailand. We should have more extensive elevated road systems within Metro Manila itself. Not just simple flyovers but actual entire highways build over existing congested highways.

    And the funding to pay for it? ... all millions of pesos being pocketed monthly by politicians & public officials would be more than enough to pay for it during the project's construction period.
