San Miguel opens NAIAx Tramo access ramp

San Miguel Corporation (SMC) on Friday opened the new access ramp of the NAIA Expressway (NAIAx) at Tramo (Aurora Boulevard) in Pasay City. 

In a news release, SMC said the newly opened 800-meter ramp access is expected to ease traffic in the area and provide seamless access to the country’s main international gateway.  

“This Tramo access ramp provides another option for motorists heading to the airport, and other areas in Parañaque City and Cavite province. We believe it can help relieve overall traffic congestion in the area, and improve traffic flow within the vicinity of the airport,” said SMC president and CEO Ramon Ang.

Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan acknowledged SMC’s support of the government’s efforts to build vital infrastructure to sustain the country's economic growth.

“The Tramo access ramp has been in San Miguel’s drawing board for a long, long time because they knew it would enhance the efficiency of NAIA expressway, and improve the mobility of motorists going to the airport,” said Bonoan.

The Public Works chief added that further improvements on NAIAx are being studied by the DPWH in partnership with SMC, to improve the flow of traffic to the airport terminals.

“San Miguel will continue to pursue these vital infrastructure projects, in close coordination with our government, because of their benefits to our people and economy. Through these projects, we also create jobs, improve the mobility of goods and services, and make our cities and regions more primed for growth. All these serve to support and sustain our growing economy,” Ang said.

The NAIA expressway is an 11-kilometer elevated toll road that connects the Skyway System to the three passenger terminals of NAIA, the country's main international gateway, as well as to Pasay’s Entertainment City, Macapagal Boulevard, Sucat Road in Parañaque City, and the road network to Cavite province. —NB, GMA Integrated News
