The construction of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (Calax) Governor’s Drive Interchange is progressing steadily, with completion now nearing 40 percent, a ranking official said in a report by BusinessMirror.
MPCALA Holdings Inc. OIC Elnora D. Rumawak said the 8.64-kilometer segment, which will link the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange to Governor’s Drive in General Trias, Cavite, remains on track for its scheduled opening in the second half of 2025.
“We are committed to completing the entire stretch of Calax by 2025. Its full opening will not only ease traffic and improve connectivity but also support economic growth by enhancing access to key areas in Cavite and Laguna,” she said.
Meanwhile, other sections of Calax are also advancing, with Subsection 1 (Kawit Interchange) now over 31 percent complete and Subsection 2 (Open Canal Interchange) reaching 21.9 percent completion.
Once fully completed, Calax will span 45 kilometers from Mamplasan Rotunda in Laguna to Kawit, Cavite, integrating with major expressways to create a seamless connection between Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila.
The expressway will feature a total of eight interchanges: Laguna Technopark, Laguna Boulevard, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road, Silang East, Silang (Aguinaldo), Governor’s Drive, Open Canal, and Kawit Interchange.
Calax will eventually connect to the Manila-Cavite Expressway (Cavitex) in Kawit, creating a more efficient route for motorists traveling between Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila.
Once the entire expressway is operational, it is expected to accommodate up to 95,000 vehicles daily, cutting travel times and further boosting economic activity in the region.
MPCALA is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC), whose domestic tollway network also includes the Cavitex, North Luzon Expressway (Nlex), the NLEX Connector, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (Sctex), and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (Cclex) in Cebu.
