NLEX eyes reopening of cash lanes on Monday, Dec. 14

The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is targeting to reopen cash lanes along the toll road next week, a company official said Saturday.

“Target natin po natin Monday. By Monday cash lanes should be open,” Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. chief communications officer Romulo Quimbo said in an interview on Dobol B sa News TV.

MPTC is the concession holder of NLEX, Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), Cavite Laguna Expressway (CALAEX), Cebu Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), and the NLEX Connector.

Quimbo earlier announced that NLEX will be reopening cash lanes alongside RFID lanes amid traffic congestion on the toll road due to the implementation of a 100% cashless payment scheme on expressways. 

He also reiterated that NLEX will transfer the existing RFID sticker installation and account reloading in the Karuhatan and Mindanao toll plazas effective immediately in order to improve traffic flow in nearby areas. —LBG, GMA News
