The C-5 Southlink Expressway, or the CAVITEX–C-5 Link Expressway, is a 7.708-kilometer (4.790 mi) toll expressway part of the Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) project that will connect it with the main route of Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) in Taguig. The project costs at ₱15 billion,[6][7] and is a joint project of the Philippine Reclamation Authority, Toll Regulatory Board, and Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation, a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation.

The expressway is built in two phases, with the first phase that fills the gap between the C-5 main route and the C-5 Extension near Merville, Parañaque by constructing a 2.2-kilometer (1.4 mi) flyover over South Luzon Expressway and Skyway, and the second phase involving construction of the Merville–R-1 segments.

The expressway is a spur component of Expressway 2 (E2) of the Philippine expressway network.[3][4]

Route description

Taguig to Pasay

C-5 Southlink Expressway starts at Carlos P. Garcia Avenue (C-5) in Taguig near its interchange with South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). It then ascends as the existing flyover that crosses Skyway, the Philippine National Railway tracks, and SLEX before descending at its current terminus at C-5 Road Extension near Merville, Parañaque.

Pasay to Parañaque

The expressway's section towards Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) is currently under construction. It will continue its course south of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and parallel to C-5 Road Extension. An interchange that will serve Merville would then be found. It will then enter Parañaque and pass by Amvel City, where an interchange towards Sucat Road and a toll plaza will be located. It will end at a trumpet interchange with CAVITEX near the latter's Parañaque toll plaza.

History

The construction of the expressway started on May 8, 2016.[8] Phase 1 or Section 3A-1 (C-5 to Merville) was opened to traffic on July 23, 2019. The project was expected to be completed in 2022,[9][10][11][12][excessive citations] but was delayed to 2023.[13][14]

Features

Speed limit

Unlike most limited-access highways in the Philippine expressway network, the maximum speed on its existing section is 60 kilometers per hour (37 mph).[15]

Toll

The expressway uses a barrier toll system that uses toll barriers currently at exit points, where motorists pay a fixed toll rate. Integrated with the toll system of CAVITEX, the electronic toll collection (ETC) system on the expressway is operated by Easytrip Services Corporation and collections are done on both dedicated lanes and mixed lanes at the toll barriers.

Tolls are assessed in each direction at each barrier, based on class. In accordance with the law, all toll rates include a 12% value-added tax.

Class Toll[16]
Class 1
(Cars, Motorcycles, SUVs, Jeepneys) 		₱22.00
Class 2
(Buses, Light Trucks) 		₱44.00
Class 3
(Heavy Trucks) 		₱66.00
