Bases dev’t agency: Expressway will open on time

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO --- Despite a slight delay in the construction of the 93.7-kilometer Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx), its implementing agency, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), is optimistic that the tollway project will be completed on schedule.
Led by BCDA president Narciso Abaya, the BCDA Board recently signified the agency’s commitment to the speedy completion of the SCTEx as it intensified its monitoring of its Japanese partners - Hazama-Taisei-Nippon (HTN) Joint Venture for Package 2 and the Kajima-Obayashi-JFE Engineering-Mitsubishi Corporation (KOJM) Joint Venture for Package 1 - in the construction of the four-lane tollroad.
According to BCDA records, as of September 13, 2006, a total negative slippage of 11.6146 percent was noted for Package 1, which stretches from Subic to Clark. Target accomplishment for the date is 49.1504 percent of the total work, but only 37.5358 percent has been completed.
Package 1 costs some P12.7 billion and construction is expected to be complete on November 16, 2007.
For the P8.27-billion Package 2 (Clark-Tarlac Section), a negative slippage of 6.7777 percent had been recorded.
With a contract duration of 850 working days, construction has been ongoing for 511 days. It is expected to be completed by August 18 next year.
The whole project has a negative slippage of 9.7068 percent.
Abaya said when the SCTEx becomes fully operational late next year, the toll road will link the Subic Port in Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) to the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ) and the Luisita Industrial Park in Tarlac. The SCTEx will serve as the backbone of a new and highly competitive economic corridor of the country in the Southeast Asian region.
Once the SCTEx is operational, it would only take some 30 minutes to travel from Clark to Subic and vice versa. Likewise, it would only take a mere 20 minutes to travel from Clark to Tarlac and vice versa.
The SCTEx is a flagship project of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and is espoused under the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP). At 93.7 km, the SCTEx will be the longest toll road of the country.
