    “Reaching the halfway mark of this major infrastructure project reaffirms our commitment to delivering this segment at the earliest possible time,” NLEX Corporation President and General Manager Luis Reñon was quoted as saying.

    Once completed, the NLEX C5 Northlink section will connect the Mindanao Toll Plaza to Quirino Highway through an all-weather elevated expressway, bypassing the Mindanao Avenue and Tullahan River.

    It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to all vehicle classes and is expected to benefit around 11,000 vehicles per day.

    The elevated expressway looks to ease congestion on major thoroughfares such as Quirino Highway and Mindanao Avenue.
