MANILA, PHILIPPINES – One of the major expressways which links Metro Manila’s international airport terminals to various parts of city finally open to the public today, September 22.<\/p>\n

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway (NAIAx) Phase 2-A is expected to ease heavy traffic experienced by motorists bound for or leaving either of the 3 NAIA terminals.<\/p>\n

Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar led the project, claiming that the four-laned elevated expressway “will effectively improve traffic flow in the airport vicinity and will cut travel time by at least 60%.”<\/p>\n

This project is in response to the transportation crisis the city is experiencing. According to a report on 2014 by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Philippines lose P2.4 billion per day due to heavy traffic; if the traffic condition remains unattended, the losses can increase up to P6 billion daily.<\/p>\n

On top of that, DPWH ensures that the NAIAx Phase 2-A will be toll-free for the first 30 days in an effort to give back to the motorists and commuters who were inconvenienced during its construction.<\/p>\n

“We just want people to experience the road and see for themselves,” Villar adds.<\/p>\n
