6 years after then PNoy led the GB of SS3...the main carriageway is finally [technically] interconnected from Section 1 (Buendia) to 5 (NLEx Balintawak ramps] today, 23 Sept 2020.

A partial opening from Section 4 (Sgt Rivera) to Section 5 is highly possible within the year kasi 1 span nalang bubuhusan (Cherrylume Curve, meh roadeck na lahat yung segment na yun. Baka nga buhos na ito ngayon kasi parang 2-3 weeks ago pa natapos girder launching).

Complete main carriageway: looks iffy pero kung hahapitin ang slabworks and deck pouring...mukang kaya.

Most likely eh 1x1 no asphalt to pag nagkataon, mabuksan lang to "meet" DPWH's Dec target.

Araw-araw ko rin binabantayan to sa SSC pati yung ibang major projects. Kung di lang nasunog yung segment sa Pandacan, na-allot sana yung effort para sa ibang gawain. Pero mukhang doable nga na 1x1 this year. Yung NLEX Harbor Link nahapit rin nila eh.

Yung nasunug sa Pandacan honestly parang sinunug talaga lang para may rason why delayed ang completion.

Before nasunug yun, target turnover was end of 2Q 2020 sa alala ko. Just looking at that timetable, kung kaya talaga, dapat other areas tapos na, yung pandacan segment lang ang nakabitin na pending.

Pero anyway, something that can't be proven, but just is very suspicious from a construction timetable perspective. Sa Gantt chart pa lang nila alam na kasi nila na bitin sila sigurado dahil wala pa materials on location sa other segments din. So yung concrete pouring mismo hindi magawa dahil wala pa yung ilalim.

why'd they do it?
is there a penalty for tardiness?
is the penalty larger than the additional cost of repair?

Here was the commitment of Ramon Ang about completing it on April 2020
SMC eyes opening of Skyway 3 by April 22 - Manila Standard

DPWH and PPP Center already list the completion by December 2020 though, and even they updated already the projections after Pandacan fire.

DPWH Specicially list stage 3 at 88.xx% complete, excluding the pandacan section (section 2a)
https://www.dpwh.gov.ph/dpwh/PPP/projs/MMSS-3

Judging by this, original commitment of turnover pala was 2019, not 2020
DPWH/TRB – Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 – Philippines - Project Profile

I am pretty sure they prepared a bid bond or performance bond with commitment to complete the project by X date. How much that is, I can't remember if it was ever reported but that is normally the case for vital infra projects. If you fail to deliver on the said date, you forfeit the bond and still need to deliver the product. But I can't find any bid documentation online. hehe! But I might be wrong in what I recall and mixed up which projects have bonds and which don't.

The announcement was only for awarding to Citra to start Stage 3 in 2014.

EDIT:
I had to reread to make sure I didn't miss anything
So Skyway Stage 3 is under Citra Central Expressway Corp
"Aside from SMC, other shareholders of Citra Central Expressway include Citra Lamtoro Gung Persada and the state-run Philippine National Construction Corp. (PNCC)." excerpt from here.
SMC unit expects TRB okay for P27-B connector road | Philstar.com

But the contractor is not SMC, but DMCI.
DMCI bags Skyway Stage 3 contract | ABS-CBN News

So when it comes to bonds, yes there is, between DMCI and Citra, most likely. As with any consutruction project, the client will expect a fixed delivery date/timetable. Beyond that, the contract will more likely than not stipulate liquidated damages in the amount of a standard one tenth of one percent for each day of delay.

That seems small in retrospect, but the total project cost is originally at 27 Billion. That's around 27million php penalty for every day of delay to whatever contract between DMCI and Citra is. Now though, if we just refer to DPWH, the project cost has ballooned to 44.86billion php.
https://www.dpwh.gov.ph/dpwh/PPP/projs/MMSS-3

If the value of liquidated damages is different, I still expect there to be liquidated damages regardless for these types of contract as ROI is important for companies, especially since this PPP has a fixed 30 year term and after 30 years, it turnsover to the government.

EDIT 2:
I also stand corrected, the more original turnover date was in April of 2017
https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/2...held-tomorrow/

EDIT 3:
Updated Info of my calculations for Liquidated Damages. I again stand corrected on what scope DMCI is only incharge of Buendia to Aurora Blvd. Aurora Blvd to Balintawak is under EEI.

DMCI's scope, per the documentation from PPP is worth 17B of the 27B.
https://ppp.gov.ph/in_the_news/consu...way-contracts/

But that still means if at one tenth of one percent, the LD would be 1.7m php per day of delay still. Again, a guess at this point, but it is impossible that CITRA never required L.D. to be part of their contracts with DMCI and EEI.

Wala na yata issue for most of the ramps. Yung pace lang mabagal talaga. Ang kita ko lang na may issues pa is along Araneta. Yung mga poste ng kuryente na di pa naaalis kaya tengga pa yung construction dun. Same din dun sa ramp sa may SM Centerpoint yata.

Nasaan na si Dimitri at mapasyalan ko na ito, on You Tube?

Kakarelease lang ng October update ni Dim eh. Let's wait for the November update. Baka nag-aaspalto na sila nun.

Kailan na ba ang opening niyang Skyway hanggang NLEX?

Raring to use this anytime as we're planning to drive north this month....

Can go on-ramp from Alabang, or from Sucat in SLEX, or from NAIAX in Airport Rd.

Ako rin excited para dyan. Para di na ako daan ng EDSA going to NLEX. We maybe going to Pampanga by end of the month.

Hindi pa painted yung road marking to denote lane widths for each vehicle, pero alala ko parang yung width per lane nito hawig din sa NAIAx, so tingin ko baka 60kph lang din max speed dito.

But I could be wrong. Yung lang naalala ko kasi madami existing structures na dinaanan yung tabi so wala masyado flexibility in making the lanes wider to increase max speed.

[absinthe]

more or less 60 or 80kph. Sa Stage 1 at 2, 80kph na yung speed, naglalagay na sila ng bagong speed signage.

Video from SMC - thank you Lodi RSA. Batangas to Rosario La Union v.v. can now be driven seamlessly [especially when Stage 2 expansion is completed].

And if my understanding is correct, construction costs ballooned to more than P80B (!) due to massive ROW issues / diversion to SJ river / reconstruction of 3 bridges not included in concession agreement / Quirino Ave extension / Section 5 extension not in original concession as well / etc
