Those traveling from Metro Manila to Mabalacat City in Pampanga would need to pay an additional toll of P9, P20, and P25 per respective class for end-to-end travel.

The increase in toll fees was implemented following the completion and opening of the P7-billion NLEX Harbor Link – a 2.6-kilometer elevated section between the new Caloocan Interchange at C3 road and the new Navotas Interchange along the R-10 road. The expressway opened in June.

“Over the years, NLEX Corporation has lived up to its commitment of improving its expressway network and providing quality infrastructure projects that contribute to economic development. Aside from the NLEX Harbor Link, among the projects recently completed in partnership with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) include the Balagtas Northbound Entry and Tambobong Interchange that have contributed to traffic decongestion and improved customer experience,” NLEX said in a statement.

“The tollway company also finished the rehabilitation of Bocaue River Bridge; pavement repairs, and upgrading of roadway lights in parts of the expressways; and drainage enhancements in Valenzuela City and Balagtas, Bocaue, Meycauayan, and Pulilan  – all of which are aimed at improving motorists’ safety and convenience. It is also currently undertaking major upgrading works for the five-kilometer Candaba Viaduct,” it added.
