SCTEX sets start of toll operations

THE entire 50.5-kilometer Subic-Clark segment and a portion of the Clark-Tarlac segment of the Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) is set to officially start toll operations on Monday at 12:01 p.m., following simple rites at the Toll Operations Center in Mabalacat, Pampanga, Robert Gervacio, program manager for operational support, said.

As approved by the Toll Regulatory Board, motorists will pay a toll of P2 per kilometer.

With the start of commercial operations of 62 kilometers of the 94-km SCTEX, motorists will have immediate access to the provinces of Pampanga and Bataan and Olongapo City via interchanges that will simultaneously open on Monday. These are Clark North A Interchange in Mabalacat, Clark Logistics Interchange, Dinalupihan Interchange in Bataan and Tipo Interchange in Subic.

Subic-bound motorists coming from NLEX are advised to take the Spur/NLE interchange located between the Dau and Sta. Ines Exits and proceed to the SCTEX Clark Logistics Toll Plaza. After crossing the bridge, follow the loop of the ramp toward Subic. Motorists are advised to follow the road directional signage.

Motorists, going to Clark from the SCTEX have two options, according to Gervacio.

The first option is to exit at Clark Logistics Interchange, make a u-turn at the NLEX spur road towards MacArthur Highway and proceed to either the Main gate or Mabalacat gate of the Clark Freeport.

The second option is to exit at the Clark North A Interchange, then turn left to MacArthur Highway and finally turn right to the Mabalacat gate of the Clark Freeport.

Tollways Management Corp., interim operator of SCTEX, is deploying its entire team of patrol crews, toll tellers and the entire complement of traffic and roadside managers to handle all the traffic, communication and safety of motorists. TMC is also the operator of NLEX, an 84-km roadway from Balintawak to Santa Ines.

However, the opening of the remaining 32-kilometer portion of the SCTEX from the boundary of the Clark North A Interchange in Mabalacat all the way to Tarlac City has been deferred to give way to the final stages of constructing rice farm crossings, aside from installation of steel posts, cables and other accessories by the National Transmission Corp. for the power requirements of Clark Freeport billion-peso investor Texas Instruments. The opening of the remaining 32-kilometers is set for July of this year. journal online
