TRAVEL in Central Luzon, a key economic hub, gets a boon this week with the opening of a crucial highway between two of the region’s most progressive provinces, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija.
The Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEx) will be opened to the motoring public this week, Public Works Secretary Mark A. Villar announced on Wednesday (July 14), as he made a final inspection of the 4-lane expressway project connecting Tarlac and Nueva Ecija.
“As declared a month ago, we will inaugurate on Thursday, July 15, 2021, the first 18-kilo-meter section of CLLEx from Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway [SCTEx]/Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway [TPLEx] connection in Tarlac City up to the intersection of Aliaga-Guimba Road in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija,” said Villar.
