NLEX to impose toll hike next month

Balintawak Toll Plaza

The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) will impose another increase on its toll prices next month.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When will the toll hike take effect?

    The adjustments will be on June 4, 2024.
  • How much will the toll adjustments be?

    Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling within the open system (Balintawak, Caloocan City to Marilao, Bulacan) shall pay an additional P5 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and sport utility vehicles), P14 for Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks), and P17 for Class 3 vehicles. On the other hand, those who will utilize NLEX end-to-end between Metro Manila and Mabalacat City will pay an additional P27 for Class 1, P68 for Class 2 and P81 for Class 3 vehicles.
  • Per the Pangilinan-led firm, the upcoming adjustment consolidated— which is part of the toll hike petitions for 2018 and 2020 — will take effect starting June 4, 2024.

    Under the approved matrix, those who will travel within the open system (Balintawak, Caloocan City to Marilao, Bulacan) will have to pay an extra P5 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and sport utility vehicles), P14 for Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks), and P17 for Class 3 vehicles.

    Motorists who will use NLEX end-to-end between the National Capital Region and Mabalacat City need to pay an additional P27 for Class 1, P68 for Class 2 and P81 for Class 3 vehicles.

    According to NLEX, the revised toll fees were under the approved periodic adjustments due in 2019 and 2021 that were deferred and divided into two tranches to help reduce impact on expressway users. The initial tranche was put up in May 2023.

    From 2018-2020, NLEX Corporation conducted several infrastructure and enhancement projects — including San Fernando northbound exit expansion, Meycauayan northbound and Balintawak southbound drainage enhancements, San Simon and Sta. Rita Bridge retrofitting, Mindanao signalization, Mapulang Lupa Pedestrian/Tricycle Overpass construction, toll system and equipment, roadway lighting and signage upgrade.

    This year, the company opened the new F. Raymundo Exit in Meycauayan and expanded the Meycauayan northbound exit ramp. It is also eyeing to complete the Candaba Third Viaduct, which will widen the five-kilometer bridge from existing three lanes without shoulders to three lanes with inner and outer shoulders per direction.

    Further, the toll operator announced that it will start the construction of two major projects soon — the first two-kilometer section of the NLEX-C5 link from NLEX Mindanao toll plaza to Quirino Highway in Novaliches and the NLEX San Fernando to Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway Spur in Mabalacat, Pampanga.
