Roads in the Philippines

The Subic–Tipo Expressway (also known as the STipEx, NLEx Segment 7 or Subic Freeport Expressway, abbreviated as SFEx) is a two-lane expressway in the Philippines approximately 8.8 kilometers in length whose alignment traverses the provinces of Zambales and Bataan.

The entire expressway forms a part of Expressway Route 4 (E4) of the Philippine expressway network.

Route description

Beginning at Rizal Highway, the expressway runs northward traversing the wetlands of the former Naval Exchange going towards Argonaut Highway. The alignment curves to the right as it crosses Argonaut Highway and goes up as it enters the Bataan National Park. The alignment then veers on a southeasterly direction traversing the side slopes of the mountain. The road enters Bataan as it exits a national park and there are two Total service areas, with one before the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) security checkpoint for southbound lanes and near the checkpoint for northbound lanes. It will curve westward, eastward, pass into one river, and repeats the same direction as before. There is an overpass after passing the bridge and before entering Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). Upon entering SCTEX, there is a toll plaza and the road forks into two, the left towards Jose Abad Santos Avenue (Olongapo-Gapan Road) and the right is a toll plaza leading to SCTEX.
