CALAX Silang-Aguinaldo Interchange exceeds expected daily traffic projection

The Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) Silang-Aguinaldo Interchange has exceeded its expected daily traffic projection with more than 11,000 vehicles passing through the newly opened section of the tollway.

According to MPCALA Holdings Incorporated, the concessionaire of CALAX, the original projected traffic volume for the toll road junction is just 5,000 cars per day.

The four-kilometer segment of CALAX directly connects Aguinaldo Highway to tourist destinations in Tagaytay, Silang, Dasmarinas, and other nearby cities and municipalities in the province of Cavite.

More are in store for motorists as MPCALA noted that construction for the remaining portion of the CALAX Cavite Segment continues in full swing. The next interchange will be a 7.9-kilometer two-by-two lane expressway that will extend from Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange to Governor’s Drive in General Trias.

To date, more than 95 percent of the right-of-way for this segment has already been acquired, and the team has already begun earthworks and bridge constructions.

“Governor’s Drive will be the second-longest segment of CALAX, spanning almost 8 kilometers in length. We target to open it to the motoring public before the end of 2024. Through this interchange, we aspire to revolutionize our motorist travel experience, by connecting communities and helping improve the economy of the region,” shared MPCALA President and General Manager Raul Ignacio.

By 2025, CALAX will have eight strategically positioned interchanges: Technopark, Laguna Boulevard, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road, Silang East, Silang (Aguinaldo), Governor’s Drive, Open Canal, and Kawit Interchange.
