The North Luzon East Expressway (NLEE) is a proposed four-lane, 92.1-kilometre (57.2 mi) long limited-access toll expressway in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines.[1]
With a length of 92.1 kilometers (57.2 mi), the toll project consists of Phase I and Phase II and will form an important transport access in the eastern area of Central Luzon.
Also known as La Mesa Parkways Project,[2] the first phase of NLEE starts as a 19-kilometer (12 mi) toll road, beginning in Commonwealth Avenue - La Mesa Parkway and/or junction of C–6 in San Jose del Monte, before continuing to Bigte, Norzagaray with an interchange at San Jose del Monte, Bulacan (Tungkong Mangga). NLEE then continues from Norzagaray before passing through the towns of Bulacan like Santa Maria, Angat, San Ildefonso, and San Miguel. Bridges will be required for the project to cross Bulacan's major waterway, Angat River.
The entire next phase of NLEE will be located in Nueva Ecija. It shall pass through the cities and towns of Gapan, San Leonardo, and Santa Rosa parallel to the Pan-Philippine Highway (AH26). Bridges will also be needed to cross rivers like the Peñaranda River, and Pampanga River.[1] The expressway ends in Cabanatuan, connecting with the partially-completed Central Luzon Link Expressway.
The completion of the expressway has yet to be determined. However, NLEE will decongest the Central Luzon segment of the Pan-Philippine Highway once completed. It shall provide a faster route to Cagayan Valley, creating a more efficient trade route between the cities and municipalities of Bulacan and Nueva Ecija, and Metro Manila. The project will also cater to women to work in its construction to promote gender equality in the workforce.
The project's concessionaire was awarded to Ausphil Tollways Corporation (ATC).[2]
