Cavitex - Sangley Extension Project

Screen grab from Google Maps

Over the past months I have been noticing reclamation activity along the mangroves area of Cavitex Kawit toll exit. As it took shape of a road running towards Cavite City, it got me more curious. So this is what it says in the DPWH PPP Page:

Project Description:

•The project proposal is a viaduct with an approximate length of 4.63 km. via a reclaimed road which intends to connect the Kawit Interchange of Cavitex to Sangley Point of Cavite City and neighboring provinces (Laguna, Batangas, etc.) including Metro Manila. The project will have the following phases:

Project Phases		Length (km)
1	Kawit Interchange to Bacoor Bay
	· Road	1.46
	· Bridge	0.16
2	Bacoor Bay to Cavite City Interchange
	· Road	0.20
	· Bridge	1.00
3	Cavite City Interchange
	· Road	1.44
	· Bridge	0.37

News articles only mentions the proposal as of April 2018 and I don't see any construction timeline in the DPWH page. It seems the reclamation has almost reached Bacoor Bay and no signs of slowing down.

Hopefully it turn to be a great benefit to commuters and not damage the mangrove forests that grow around the area.
