Acting Secretary Giovanni Z. Lopez said construction is on schedule and that Packages A and C should open before year’s end.
The goal is to have the road fully operational between November and December.
Package A, an 11.32‑kilometer stretch from Sto. Tomas, Batangas, to Makban, Laguna, is slated for completion in December, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways.
The entire project, divided into six packages, is expected to finish by June 2029.
