NLEX to raise toll rates next month

MANILA: The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) will increase its toll fees next month.

Based on the announcement posted over its social media page, NLEX Corporation will add at least P5 in the open system and P0.72 per kilometer for the succeeding kilometers (closed system) starting March 2 — as approved by the Toll Regulatory Board.

 According to the tollway operator, the aforementioned add-ons are the “consolidated amount of the first tranche of the approved periodic adjustments due in 2023 and the add-on toll for the completion of the P7.7-billion new Candaba Third Viaduct in 2024.”

“The increase due in 2023 was deferred and divided into two tranches to ease the impact on expressway users,” the company explained.
