00:00The construction of another important economic project is about to start
00:04that is expected to speed up the travel to the economic zones in Cavite and Laguna.
00:10Ryan Lesigas will tell you what's going on at the center of the news.
00:16Leonel has been a delivery rider for more than a year.
00:20He usually travels via Ruta, if not through Cavite, then through Metro Manila.
00:24As a delivery rider, they need to pass their travel.
00:29In the traffic jam, they are often asked to deliver.
00:33They are very thankful to Expressway because their travel is getting faster.
00:40Yes, it's a big help because we can deliver faster.
00:43Yes, it's better to deliver faster.
00:50Marvin is a daily wage earner in delivering construction materials.
00:55So if there's a traffic jam, his income will be reduced.
00:59We deliver four times a day.
01:01Our Ruta is different.
01:03When there's traffic, sometimes we do it at night.
01:06Sometimes, we arrest early in the morning.
01:09It's the same. There are a lot of trucks.
01:11Especially when there's a truck ban.
01:14That's what you'll get.
01:16That's why Marvin and Leonel were happy when the Calax Cavitex Link did the ground breaking earlier.
01:22They are determined.
01:23It will definitely make their life easier in the time remaining.
01:28Exactly at 9 o'clock earlier,
01:30President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the ground breaking ceremony of the Cavitex Calax Link Segment 4.
01:37This is a 1.3 kilometers dual two-lane expressway that starts at the Tirona Highway.
01:43In the time remaining, up to 22,000 vehicles will benefit from this everyday.
01:50This will also reduce the travel from Cavitex per segment to Kalayaan Road by more than a minute.
01:57In the time remaining, the Cavitex and Calax will be connected.
02:01Up to 300,000 motorists will benefit from this.
02:05The travel from Rojas Boulevard to Mamplasan will also not last more than an hour.
02:11The project's fund is estimated at P2.2 billion.
02:16The target is to finish this in August 2025.
02:20President Marcos is committed to the Cavitex Calax Link
02:23along with three milestones projects that will give reality to his promise
02:28to change the lives of millions of Filipinos
02:32through the expansion of traffic in Greater Metro Manila.
02:37The Cavitex Calax Link originating from Cavite is a 1.2 kilometer connection
02:43whose length may be short but its impact will be substantial.
02:48With this, we anticipate a significant improvement in the road network connectivity
02:53from Cavite to the Greater Calabarzon Region.
02:57By establishing a direct connection to Calax,
03:01we also ease the traffic congestion at the busy intersection of Tirona Highway and Centennial Road.
