BCDA tells MCAC: SCTEx Clark-Tarlac 95% complete
By Reynaldo G. Navales - SunStar
CLARK FREEPORT -— Officials of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) informed members of the Metro Clark Advisory Council (Mcac) that the Clark to Tarlac segment of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) project is nearing completion with a 95-percent accomplishment rate.
The report was stated in a press statement sent to Sun.Star Pampanga on Tuesday.
Jesus Tuadles, BCDA project manager for SCTEx, told members of the Mcac, chaired by Clark Development Corporation president Levy P. Laus that the Clark-Tarlac segment is now being subjected to quality control program to assure that the infrastructure project is world-class standard.
The segment (or Package 2), which is 43.27 kilometers long, has a substantial compliance from the contractor of the project, according to Tuadles.
He added that the contractor, Hazaman-Taisei-Nippon Steel Joint Venture (HTNJV) and the SCTEx project managers, are now conducting a quality checklist for every 20-meter sub-segment covering the entire stretch.
At the same time, Tuadles during his briefings at the Mcac meeting said the entire 93.77-kilometer SCTEx project is about 89.83 complete, and they expect both contractors of the project to complete the more than P27 billion flagship project of President Arroyo.
Package One (Clark-Subic segment) has a length of 50.5 kilometers and is more than 80 percent complete, Tuadles said.
He also said that the project has minimal four percent slippage for the entire project, which includes four major bridges, eight interchanges, 29 minor bridges, 303 drainage culverts, 44 underpasses, toll plazas, traffic control systems and assistance centers.
Laus however told Tuadles that the MCAC will send letter to BCDA president
Narciso Abaya to inquire about emergency bays which are conspicuously absent in the more than 90-kilometer stretch of the project.
Laus stressed that the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) is equipped with several emergency bays, which motorists used on emergency cases or during accidents to prevent the clogging of the highway.
Laus said this may cause another accident if the stalled vehicles are not removed along the highway immediately.
But Tuadles said that there are several service areas at the SCTEx should emergency incidents occur.
