Cavitex Infrastructure Corp. Inks Deal with DMCI for the Construction of CAVITEX C5 Link Segment 3B

The CAVITEX C5 Link project is nearing completion as Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC), a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), signed a PHP 3.3-billion construction deal with D.M. Consunji, Incorporated (DMCI) for the final C5 Link Segment 3B.

The signing ceremony, held on Tuesday, May 21, was attended by key figures including Mr. Rogelio Singson, President and CEO of MPTC; Mr. Raul L. Ignacio, President and General Manager of CIC; Ms. Elnora D. Rumawak, Vice President for Finance of CIC; Mr. Joffrey B. Gacula, Managing Director of DMCI; and Mr. Jorge A. Consunji, President and CEO of DMCI.

“This is a milestone for the CAVITEX C5 Link as this marks the construction of the last remaining segment. Soon, motorists will benefit from the entire 7.7-kilometer expressway stretching from CAVITEX R1 to C5 Road in Taguig,” said Mr. Ignacio.

Under the contract, DMCI will handle the construction of roadworks, drainage, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, sanitary systems, and toll plazas for the 2-kilometer, 3×3 lane Segment 3B, which spans from the Kaingin area to the RSG Subdivision. Construction is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2024 and the segment is expected to be operational by 2025.

Currently, operational segments of the CAVITEX C5 Link include Segment 3A-1 (C5 Link Flyover from C5 Road to Merville) and Segment 3A-2 (C5 Link Flyover Extension). Segment 3B and Segment 2 (R1 Interchange) are underway, with Segment 2 set to open to motorists next month.
