Now 85% complete, the capacity expansion of the 8.2-kilometerSFEX is aimed at improving traffic safety and easing travel to and from the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. New bridges and a tunnel are being constructed adjacent to the existing ones toincrease road capacity from one lane in each direction to two lanes in each direction.

Aside from these, expressway-standard LED lights are being installed to enhance motorists’ visibility especially when driving at night. The SFEX Capacity Expansion is seen to expedite the delivery of goods, support trade and tourism in Subic, andcomplement Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority’s (SBMA) infrastructure development
