Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx) [Merged]

[rdecruze]

Er, uh, I beg to disagree. Palaging may nireretoke sa NLEX, di na yata natapos yung mga yun.

Even the best highways in other country they do cosmetic repairs after completion para hindi lumaki ang sira. So konting defect repair agad para walang complain ang motorist pag lumala.

I mean quality overall, noticed asphalt materials laid, well compacted and more coarse than fine aggregates. Traffic signs, drainage flow, center barriers, landscaping, design, etc - first class
Motorista lang ang di pa first class...may nag oovertake pa rin sa slow lane at super kupad sa fast lane!!

[creepy]

Alala ko yung kanto ng C5 & Katipunan Ave dati. Di ba natagalan magawa yung flyover dun dahil ayaw pumayag ni Lucio Tan na ipaexpropriate yung property niya na tatamaan? Ang alam ko pinag-isipan pang ilihis na lang yung flyover para yung Monasterio de Sta. Clara yung matamaan.

Ang alam ko yung Monasterio ang ayaw lumipat. Kaya nag-offer na lang si Lucio ng ibang lupa ... dahil sa kanya yung lupa malapit doon sa C-5/Katipunan (at siya rin ang makikinabang kung nagkaroon ng flyover).

[cutedoc]

ok to, pero mahal ata toll fee, like the toll fee at skyway, sky high as well

[boybi]

4. after construction ng sctex, maaring ipasa ng bcda sa mntc ang expressway toll operations para maging valid ang extension ng franchise (due to new alignment)

parang confirmed na yata na ang MNTC ang magooperate ng SCTEx.

re: toll fee, nung nag announce ng new tollfees ang NLEX last year, reklamo lahat ng tao. ngayon, parati ng traffic sa mga tollgates, kumagat na rin ang mga reklamador.

[driven]

haay, sana nga di mabitin yung project na niyan...

diba ang skyway sa SLEX project din ng PNCC? ewan ko kung bakit hanggang ngayon bitin pa din eh, dapat i-consider din nila yung pagkakancel ng prankisa ng PNCC gawa nito eh

afaik, nothing concrete yet sir. (no pun intended )

sana on time matapos ang SCTEx. 1hr nalang siguro tarlac-balintawak.

sctex is planned as a 2.5-yr construction project (June 2005 to Dec 2007). hopefully hindi ma-delay, pero who knows? :D ma-delay man, mga 3 to 6 months lang siguro.

Kung seryosohan 'tong statement na to, most likely matutuloy, and not something na ningas cogon lang mangyayari. May remaining 15 years pa, tapos ica-cancel e di wala kita.

Pahirapan siguro dyan yong pagbili/pagkuha ng right of way.

Overall, good news ito.

Under Arroyo leadership yes, pero kung ang papalit eh artista ulit kagaya ng nangyari kay Ramos, tigil lahat ang proposed project!! Balik ulit tayo sa siraan, bangayan, sisihan!!

[oldblue]

pagtapos ng La union sana idiresto na nila hanggang Ilocos, ilang oras na lang kaya pag ganun. gusto ko pumunta dun kaya lang turn-off ako sa travel time

[isketi]

Mukhang hanggang Sta. Ines na lang talaga yung NLEX. Instead, yung SCTEx ang i-eextend from Tarlac to Rosario, La Union:

back to topic:::

i don't care kung di siya aabot to baguio, marcos highway is good enough. like cvt, sobrang happy na ako kahit rosario lang. any extension to any tollway is always good news for me.

Consortium to spend initial P500M for tollway project
By JUDITH BALEA

abs-cbnNEWS.com

A consortium of private contractors that won the 35-year contract to build, operate and maintain the Tarlac-La Union toll expressway (TLUTex),
needs P500 million as initial capital for the project, whose construction will start by September.

"We need it for our first year of construction. That's our first major capex," said Rogelio Murga, chairman of the 10-member Private Infra Dev Corp. (PIDC).

"We already have P250 million in paid-up equity from all shareholders and we're trying to raise another P250 million," he added.

As support to the government's super region infrastructure program, PIDC is set to undertake the P15-billion road project that will span 88.5 kilometers from La Paz, Tarlac to Rosario, La Union.

PIDC said the four-lane expressway would provide massive farm-to-market roads, lower vehicle operating costs and cut by half the travel time from Manila to Baguio City, a prime tourist destination in the country.

The TLUTex's first section from Tarlac up to Carmen, Pangasinan is slated for completion and operation by 2010 while full tollway operations is expected by 2013.

[woohoo]

Huh? Di pa ba tapos ang SLEx??! O merong nakabinbin na extension mula sa last toll gate (Susana Hts nga ba ito?)?

Pasensya na't di pa ako nag-drive diyan, at kapag pasahero naman ako, e usually tinutulugan ko ang biyahe. 2 or 3 times pa lang yata akong nadaan diyan.

[Automahn]

Passed by the SCTEx a few weeks ago. Sad to say, I didn't see any sort of work to continue where the SCTEx ended at La Paz (the "proposed for 2008-2010"). Or maybe they're starting work from the other end?

[B2Bomber]

^^^ None that I am aware off...

[isketi]

Sa Jan 2009 pa pala ang umpisa ng construction according to this article: http://ipb2000.com/index.php?option=...news&Itemid=65

Bad trip lang, 2-lane highway daw muna ang gagawin tapos saka na lang iwawiden to 4 lanes kapag dumami na ang volume ng dumadaan.
