List of open Skyway entry/exit points, including the newly-opened Stage 3

Nearly six years after it broke ground, the Skyway Stage 3 has been opened to the public, albeit partially. The 14-km project by San Miguel Corporation (SMC) aims to reduce travel time between two of the country’s major tollways, the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX).

The infrastructure was originally on track to be fully opened by the end of 2020, had the project not been hampered by numerous delays. There’s the prolonged work stoppage brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, which set back essential phases of the project such as concrete curing and asphalt laying.

Monsoon rains further affected the timetable, as well as a huge fire in Pandacan early last year that caused a section of the road to collapse. It would be months before the affected portion was repaired.

Skyway Stage 3 is expected to be fully operational by January 14, 2021

Now that the new Skyway extension is usable, motorists can expect to pass through free of charge until January 29, 2021. The infrastructure is on a dry run of sorts, with only a handful of exits operational as yet. The following is a list of every access point along the Skyway that is currently passable to the motoring public as of this writing:
