CALAX Governor’s Drive Interchange to open in H2 2025

MANILA: The construction of the Cavite-Laguna (CALAX) Governor’s Drive Interchange is set to be opened within the second half of 2025.

In a statement, MPT South shared that the 8.64-kilometer segment that will link Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange and Governor’s Drive in General Trias, Cavite is already 40-percent complete.

Once operational, the new road will further enhance CALAX’s connectivity — providing faster, seamless travel to General Trias and nearby areas. It will also ease traffic congestion on Governor’s Drive and Aguinaldo Highway.

“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,” MPCALA Holdings Incorporated Officer-in-Charge Elnora Rumawak said.

Aside from that, the road’s subsections are still under construction with the following progresses:

•  Subsection 1 (Kawit Interchange): 31 percent
• Subsection 2 (Open Canal Interchange): 21.9-percent

Once completed, CALAX will stretch 45 kilometers from Mamplasan Rotunda in Laguna to Kawit, Cavite, integrating with major expressways to provide 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 link with the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit, which will give motorists a more efficient route traveling between Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila. Once the entire expressway is fully operational, it is expected to serve up to 95,000 vehicles daily, significantly improving travel times and boosting economic activity in the region.
