Motorists in Metro Manila can expect additional expressway access as NLEX Corporation officially starts construction of the NLEX-C5 Northlink Section 1A project. The entire NLEX-C5 Northlink project extends 11.3 kilometers from Mindanao Avenue to C5/C.P. Garcia, close to Katipunan Avenue.

di ba hanggang commonwealth na lang yung segment 8.2?

anonymous_filipino · Nov 5, 2012

Hanggang Congressional Avenue Extension na lang. I'm hoping that MNTC will construct 2 additional entry and exit points at Sampaguita Avenue in Mapayapa Village and at Quirino Highway.

So Segment 8.2 in the future will make portion of Katipunan from CPG to Commonwealth and Luzon Ave from Commonwealth to Regalado a closed tollway? hmm i welcome this.

whatuwan · Jun 1, 2013

^^ Yes, that's the plan for segment 8.2 . Now as for how practical it is... It's whole ROW is infested with squatter colonies, making it a nightmare to build.

slamm · Jun 4, 2013

You can pass through the area that will become segment 8.2 coming from Fairview going to Old Sauyo Road. That's going to be one hell of a demolition job indeed.

lochinvar · Mar 3, 2014

Sana gawin na rin ang segment 8.2.

tulyahan · Mar 3, 2014

AFAIK, Segment 8.2 will go from Mindanao Ave to C-5/Katipunan Ave. There is an issue of its ROW alignment, kasi maraming houses (especially those from the subdivisions) and commercial establishments ang matatamaan.

lochinvar · Mar 3, 2014

How sure are you about subdivisions encroaching on ROW?

tulyahan · Mar 3, 2014

I think because of this:

As seen from the picture above, most of the ROW alignment are probably the squatters' houses, but there are also houses from the subdivisions.

See this (from Mindanao Ave to Commonwealth Ave)

Encyclopedia25 · Mar 3, 2014

Why don't they just make it underground? Maybe with the use of a tunnel boring machine.

edly · Mar 3, 2014

Based on the map, most of the alignment of segment 8.2 lies on a long stretch of Informal Settlers, so relocating them is still the best option IMO.

gum3rdm · Mar 3, 2014

too expensive and its not cost effective

medviation · Mar 4, 2014

Cheaper yet, sunugin na lang yan! joke

leofriends · Mar 4, 2014

gagawa ng tunner para give way to squats? are you in your dreams? :lol:

Encyclopedia25 · Mar 4, 2014

Not for the IS, the tunnel is for those legit residents in the subdivisions.

1100 · Mar 4, 2014

Hindi dun, sa mga bahay sa subdivision na tatamaan.

iloveallgadgets · Mar 4, 2014

^There are no subdivisions within the ROW pero meron mga nasa gilid mismo (boundary/border) ng ROW.

"Fernandez said the MPIC Group will spend about P40 billion over the next three to five years to finance the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) Harbor Link segments 8.2, 9, 10, 10.1, and 10.2."

Five more years. lol

"There are no subdivisions within the ROW pero meron mga nasa gilid mismo (boundary/border) ng ROW."

Right. Subdivision owners are there to make money, not incur unnecessary lawsuits.

Good luck sa ROW. Mukhang ang daming subdivision madadaanan ang Segment 8.2

krrra26 · Jun 9, 2015

Bakit hanggang Commonwealth ang segment 8.2? Supposedly hanggang C5 mismo?

whatuwan · Jun 9, 2015

^^ those are not subdivisions... The entire stretch of Segment 8.2 is filled with squatters :nuts:

Shoktong · Jun 9, 2015

sana isali na nila ang buong stretch ng C5 hanggang slex and make it a toll road.

lochinvar · Jun 9, 2015

In the map, section 8.2 reaches up to the intersection of Luzon Avenue, not Commonwealth, then it goes down along Luzon Avenue to C5 in Balara.

absinthe_888 · Jun 10, 2015

Toll road ba or daan lang na tatagos hanggang C5?

lochinvar · Jun 10, 2015

Sa araw ng demolition, asahan na maraming demonstrasyon at reklamo na pinapangunahan ng mga aktibista na kawawa ang mga mahihirap.
