An epic milestone – CCLEX nears completion
An epic milestone
CCLEX nears completion as the 2-meter gap between bridge decks is closed
The bridge decks of the two main towers of the iconic Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (“CCLEX”) were joined early October 2021. “We have finally reached the epic milestone of the CCLEX construction project, which truly lives up to the expressed view of builders and development leaders that CCLEX is truly an engineering marvel,” said Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (“MPTC”) President Rodrigo E Franco.
CCLEX is a project of the Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPTC, in partnership with the City of Cebu and the Municipality of Cordova. It is planned to open in 2022 and will be using a full electronic toll system to enable faster traffic flow and seamless travel.
In September, the bridge’s total of 56 powerful stay cables were successfully installed. Each tower has 14 cables on each side. <<
