TRB allows NLEX to impose toll hikes in June

MANILA: The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has allowed the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) to impose another round of toll hikes .

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When will the toll hike be implemented?

    The adjustments shall take effect on June 4, 2024.
  • How much will the adjustments be?

    Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling within the open system (Balintawak, Caloocan City to Marilao, Bulacan) shall pay an additional P5 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and sport utility vehicles), P14 for Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks), and P17 for Class 3 vehicles. On the other hand, those who will utilize NLEX end-to-end between Metro Manila and Mabalacat City will pay an additional P27 for Class 1, P68 for Class 2 and P81 for Class 3 vehicles.
  • According to the Pangilinan-led toll operator, the adjustments — which is the second tranche of the consolidated petitions for 2018 and 2020 — shall be effective starting June 4, 2024.

    Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling anywhere within the open system (Balintawak, Caloocan City to Marilao, Bulacan) will pay an additional P5 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and sport utility vehicles), P14 for Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks), and P17 for Class 3 vehicles.

    Motorists who will utilize NLEX end-to-end between Metro Manila and Mabalacat City will pay an additional P27 for Class 1, P68 for Class 2 and P81 for Class 3 vehicles.

    Per NLEX, the additional rates were part of the approved periodic adjustments due in 2019 and 2021. The adjustments were deferred and divided into two tranches to help reduce impact on expressway users — with the initial tranche implemented in May 2023.

    From 2018 to 2020, the company conducted several infrastructure and enhancement projects, which include San Fernando northbound exit expansion, Meycauayan northbound and Balintawak southbound drainage enhancements, San Simon and Sta. Rita Bridge retrofitting, Mindanao signalization, Mapulang Lupa Pedestrian/Tricycle Overpass construction, toll system and equipment, roadway lighting and signage upgrade.

    For 2024, the toll operator opened the new F. Raymundo Exit in Meycauayan and expanded the Meycauayan northbound exit ramp. It is also set to complete the Candaba Third Viaduct which will widen the five-kilometer bridge from existing three lanes without shoulders to three lanes with inner and outer shoulders per direction.

    In addition, NLEX Corporation noted that the construction of two major projects shall commence this year— the first two-kilometer section of the NLEX-C5 link from NLEX Mindanao toll plaza to Quirino Highway in Novaliches (third quarter) and the NLEX San Fernando to Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway Spur in Mabalacat, Pampanga.
