This is the start of the 7.6km missing tollway link (Calamba-Santo Tomas segment) (Toll Road 3).

President Gloria Arroyo said the South Luzon Expressway will be extended to Lucena City from Laguna as part of the Urban Luzon Beltway super region. The total length of the extension will be 54 kilometers. The extension will be built through a P10-billion build-operate-transfer agreement with Manila Toll Expressway Systems Inc., a company owned 40 percent by Philippine National Construction Corp. The rest is shared equally by the local firm Alloy Manila Expressway Inc. and the Malaysian subsidiary MTD Manila Expressways Inc.

It is now opened to the public.

  • The SLEX extension to STAR Tollway (aka Apolinario Mabini Superhighway) will be opened either in September 2009, end of this year or early 2010. Once SLEX and STAR are connected, you don't have to drive through Maharlika Highway (aka Pan-Philippine Highway) as you travel to Batangas, Quezon province, Bicol region, Visayas and far south to Mindanao. Traveling time between Manila and Batangas, will be roughly reduced to 1-1.5 hour.
