NEDA okays NAIA expressway project

National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director General Arsenio Balisacan said Thursday that President Benigno Aquino III has approved the second phase of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway Project. “It has been approved by the NEDA Board so they (the Department of Public Works and Highways or DPWH) can now proceed with the bidding,” Balisacan told reporters on the sidelines of the National Income Accounts press briefing. Balisacan said the NEDA Board, chaired by President Aquino, approved the project in a meeting late Wednesday. According to the DPWH website, the NAIA road project “is a 4-lane elevated expressway with a total length of 5.2 kms. Starting from Sales St. going to Andrews Ave., Domestic Road, MIA Rd., and ends at Roxas Blvd. It includes the construction of a toll plaza and five on and off ramps.” Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said the expressway would provide connectivity from Metro Manila's main arteries to airport terminals 1, 2, and 3. According to the DPWH, the project will cost P13.575 billion. The project, from the submission of a detailed design to construction, will run from 2012 to 2015. — DVM/YA, GMA News
