CLARK FREEPORT — The North Luzon Expressway Corp. (NLEx Corp.) has allocated P1.6 billion for the Subic Freeport Expressway (SFEx) Capacity Expansion Project which will widen the expressway from two to four lanes.
NLEx Corp. communications head Kit Ventura said his firm has already signed a contract with the Sta. Clara International Corp. for the project whose construction will start this July after the project was approved by the Toll Regulatory Board.
“At present, the SFEx has only two lanes so it sometimes happens that slow moving large and long trucks cause traffic behind them because of the difficulty of overtaking,” Ventura said.
Ventura also said LED lights will be installed along the expressway for the safety of motorists negotiating the expressway’s hilly stretch.
He also stressed that the lone tunnel along SFEX would also be widened proportionately.
