President Aquino recently inaugurated the new Cavitex expressway linking Las Piñas City to the town of Kawit in Cavite. The 7 kilometer highway was built by UEM-Mara Philippines Corp. in partnership with the government.
The highway was built on reclaimed land at the cost of 5.5 billion pesos. It expects to cut travel time from Manila to Kawit and to decongest traffic from Aguinaldo Hi-way. From Manila to Kawit, what used to be a 1 and 1/2 hour ride will now take you around 20 minutes.
The Cavitex expressway will officially open to motorists on May 1, 2011. Toll rates will stay for P58.00 for one year. Popular actress Marian Rivera has endorsed this project where she appears in a TV commercial. You can watch the commercial below:
