The Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), which will connect mainland Cebu from Cebu City to the Municipality of Cordova in Mactan Island, is now 61 percent complete.
The P30-billion project’s overall engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) progress stand at 61 percent. Its construction progress is at 48 percent.
The stay cables holding the bridge deck and the cross on top of the pylons have been installed.
“CCLEX nears substantial completion in 2021,” said Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corporation (CCLEC) President and General Manager Allan Alfon.
“Despite the challenges posed by Covid-19, we continue working to complete the project next year for the benefit of the Cebuanos.”
Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway’s two towers will have 14 stay cables on each side, or a total of 56 varying in length between 60 meters to 210 meters, anchored on the pylon and the deck.
Meanwhile, the cross, which will be luminous on four sides at night once finished, is 40 meters in height.

These constructions include the construction of columns at CSCR off-ramp, Cebu viaduct, Cordova viaduct, concreting of the bridge deck, and Cebu South Coastal Road (CSCR) on-ramp, and piling works for the small bridges at the causeway to give fishers access to their fishing ground.
