MPTC to spend P10 B for barrier-free expressway
The Philippine Star|April 29, 2024
Expressways operated by the Metro Pacific Group will start taking down their toll plazas in 2025 to achieve a barrier-less system by 2026, an effort that will require as much as P10 billion but could be key to resolving traffic congestion.

The Metro Pacific Tollways Corp.(MPTC) plans to begin its journey to a barrier-free ecosystem within the year with the hope of completing the process by 2026.

MPTC president and CEO Rogelio Singson said the target is to begin removing some toll plazas next year to start installing the gantries that will replace them.

MPTC estimates to spend between P8 billion and P10 billion for the delivery of the project. The company, however, has no hesitation in pursuing a barrier-less system, as it will accelerate traffic flow in its tollways to the benefit of motorists.
