    However, the company clarified that no toll will be collected as of the moment.

    “We are offering free access for a limited period, so motorists can experience for themselves the convenience of using the NLEX Connector,” NLEX Corporation President J. Luigi Bautista was quoted as saying.

    Per NLEX Corporation, another announcement will be made to advise motorists on the start of the toll collection for the aforementioned segment.

    Following this, motorists may now travel from Caloocan and Manila in as fast as five minutes instead of  30 minutes or more when using the usual thoroughfares. The opening is timely as NLEX Corporation anticipates the influx of travelers in the coming Holy Week.

    Per NLEX Corporation, the management will strictly enforce a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour (kph) for trucks, and 80 kph for cars, sport utility vehicles, buses, as well as motorcycles with displacement 400 cubic center and above.

    With entry and exit ramps at C3 Road and España, the elevated road (which has two wide lanes per direction) is expected to traffic along España Boulevard, Abad Santos Avenue, Rizal Avenue, and Lacson Avenue and provide easier access to several areas including the University Belt.
