Motorists can now use the northbound section of the Skyway Extension, covering Susana Heights to Sucat

San Miguel Corporation on Monday, April 12, announced that it opened 2 out of the 3 lanes of the Skyway Extension northbound section on Sunday, April 11.

San Miguel opened the section to Class 1 vehicles starting 4 pm on Sunday, after structural work and asphalt laying were completed.

The Skyway Extension spans 4 kilometers from Susana Heights to Sucat in Parañaque City. The 3-lane northbound section will allow an additional capacity of 4,500 vehicles per hour, according to San Miguel.

The expressway is currently toll-free.

The extension project provides a direct link to the Skyway system for Laguna, Batangas, and Cavite motorists, bypassing the Alabang viaduct.

San Miguel estimated that the completion of the northbound section will cut travel time to 25 to 30 minutes.

The Skyway Extension project was supposed to open in December 2020, but it was delayed because of a deadly girder mishap. – Rappler.com
