1. Cavitex toll rate increase
Effective on October 24, 2019, the Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation or CIC will be collecting new toll fees for Segment 1, otherwise known as the R1 Expressway. For those who are not aware, this particular expressway runs along the Coastal Road in Parañaque City and is a 7 km portion of CAVITEX.
This was after the Philippine Reclamation Authority or PRA’s petition called the “Approval of the Ad-on Agreed Toll Rate for Phase 1 of Segment 1 Enhancement of the Manila Cavite Expressway Project,” was given the go signal by the TRB or Toll Regulatory Board.
In a statement, CIC President Bobby Bontia said that the approval of their petition is a significantly vital development for their organization as they believe that it will help their cause of providing a safe and very high-quality expressway.
The approval of the new toll fees is a very welcome development for CIC
Likewise, the CIC was also given the go-ahead for the provisional initial toll for the Cavitex-C5 link which is also effective on October 24. These toll rates will undoubtedly help in maintaining the C5 link which will, of course, enable the CIC to provide motorists and commuters a safer and less stressful driving experience.

3. Ongoing improvements on CAVITEX
Apart from the C5-Cavitex link flyover that the CIC had already opened in July of this year, the company is now working on phase 2 of CAVITEX which involves the expansion of several bridges located in Las Piñas and in Parañaque. This particular project is estimated to be accomplished sometime in 2020.
As for the C5 link, the CIC has said that they will complete the full 7.7 km in a timely manner as it is crucial especially now as it will undoubtedly ease up traffic in and around southern Metro Manila.
The C5-Cavitex link is already being used by thousands for motorists every day so periodical maintenance is a must
