List of expressways in the Philippines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of expressways in the Philippines is currently composed of 10 controlled-access highways that connects Metro Manila to the provinces located in north and south Luzon. While not all expressways are interconnected, there is a plan to connect all expressways to form the Philippine expressway network.[1]

Since 2020, all expressways are connected to at least one other expressway.

Major interchanges[]

The Magallanes Interchange from Magallanes MRT Station
  • Balintawak Interchange is a two-level cloverleaf interchange in Quezon City, Metro Manila, the Philippines which serves as the junction between Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).
  • Magallanes Interchange is a four-level partial turbine interchange in Makati, Metro Manila, the Philippines, serving as the junction between the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and Epifanio de los Santos Avenue.
  • Sales Interchange, also known as the Nichols Interchange, is a hybrid interchange at the boundary of Pasay and Taguig in Metro Manila, the Philippines. It is composed of a lower partial cloverleaf interchange serving as the junction between the South Luzon Expressway and Andrews Avenue (formerly Sales Road), and an upper T-bone interchange serving as the junction between the Metro Manila Skyway and the NAIA Expressway.
  • Smart Connect Interchange, also known as the Mindanao Avenue Interchange and the Harbor Link interchange, is a two-level cloverleaf interchange in Valenzuela, Metro Manila, the Philippines which serves as the junction between Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) and the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). Built as part of the 2.7-kilometer (1.7 mi) NLEX–Mindanao Avenue Link segment extending the expressway to Mindanao Avenue, which has since been incorporated into the C-5 system, it is the Philippines' largest cloverleaf interchange in terms of land area.

Tolls[]

Bocaue Toll Barrier of the North Luzon Expressway

Most of the expressways implement tolls, usually of the closed road and barrier toll systems. On expressways roads using closed road tolling, motorists first get a card or ticket at the entry point and surrender them upon exit. On expressways implementing barrier tolling, toll collection is done at toll plazas on a fixed rate. Some expressways employ a hybrid system that includes both, like the North Luzon Expressway, which uses both barrier ("open system") and closed road tolling.

Electronic toll collection (ETC) is first implemented on the Skyway and South Luzon Expressway, using transponder technology branded E-Pass. ETC systems are implemented by some toll road operators, with inter-running support on other connected expressways. Toll plazas or toll gates have ETC lanes on the leftmost lanes or on "mixed" lanes, that allow cash collection, or both. Latest ETC systems use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology over transponder technology for collection. Having differing ETC systems that are not supported on other roads, a plan for a unified ETC system are promoted for motorists' convenience.

As of July 2021, the toll rates by expressway are as follows:
