List of expressways in the Philippines

This is a list of the expressways in the Philippines.[1]

Expressways in the Philippines are composed of 10 controlled-access highways that connect Metro Manila to the provinces in the North Luzon and South Luzon. As of now not all expressways are interconnected, with a plan in the future to connect all of the expressways to form a network.

Planned/proposed

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 North Luzon Expressway–Circumferential Road 5 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 are 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) are 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 April 2011, the toll rates by expressway are as follows:

Luzon Spine Expressway Network

The Luzon Spine Expressway Network (LSEN) is composed of many expressways connections within the main island of Luzon.

The existing expressways of LSEN are North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), South Luzon Expressway (SLEx - Makati to Santo Tomas, Batangas), Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEx), Skyway (Stage 1 and 2), Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway (NAIAEx), Muntinlupa–Cavite Expressway (MCX), Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx), Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR Tollway), Subic–Tipo Expressway and Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEx).

The extensions of SLEx (Sto. Tomas, Batangas to Lucena, Quezon), TPLEx (Binalonan, Pangasinan to San Fernando, La Union), Skyway (Makati to Balintawak), C-5 (CAVITEx-C5 South Link) and the proposed expressways such as C-6, North Luzon East Expressway (NLEEx), Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEx), Harbor Link Expressway (NLEx Segment 10), Cavite–Laguna Expressway (CALAx) and Cavite–Tagaytay–Batangas Expressway (CTBEx) are also part of the Luzon Spine Expressway Network.

All LSEN projects are under the "Golden Age of Infrastructure" program and also a part of the "DuterteNomics" agenda of President Rodrigo Duterte.
