Toll collection on NLEX-SLEX Caloocan-España starts Aug. 8, 2023

Motorists will start paying toll on the Caloocan to España Boulevard stretch of the NLEX-SLEX Connector on August 8.

This developed after the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) issued a Notice to Start Collection (NTSC) for the expressway’s recently opened stretch.

The following  rates will apply: 

• P86 for Class 1 (cars and SUVs)
• P215 for Class 2 (minivans and buses)
• P302 for Class 3 (large trucks and trailers)

The toll road will be the first to implement a 24/7 barrier-free Electronic Toll Collection System, according to the TRB on Facebook.

"Motorists just need to slowdown for safety but need not stop at the toll plaza, resulting to a faster and more convenient travel," the TRB said.

"Thus, we encourage all the expressway users to use RFID not only at the NLEX-SLEX Connector Road Project, but to all the other expressways as well," it added.

The Caloocan to España segment was opened to motorists on March 29 without toll collection.

“Currently, around 14,000 motorists are using this new toll road daily enjoying a faster travel time of only around 5 minutes from the usual 30 minutes or more using the old routes,” TRB said.

A substantial portion of Section 2 from España to Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard is targeted to be completed within the 4th Quarter of this year. —Sherylin Untalan/NB, GMA Integrated News
