Metro Manila, Philippines – Motorists can now use a new northbound exit along the Quezon Avenue extension at Skyway Stage 3 in Quezon City.
San Miguel Corporation’s infrastructure arm opened the exit ramp at 6 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28, ahead of the anticipated traffic volume for the New Year rush.
“We’re opening the Maria Clara exit just in time for the last long weekend of the year, when many of our countrymen are traveling for New Year’s celebrations. This exit has been long-awaited by our motorists in Quezon City, who now have a convenient alternative,” SMC Chairman and CEO Ramon Ang,” said in a press release.
Ang said the Quezon Avenue extension exit will not incur any additional toll fees and will have the same toll rate as the Quezon Avenue northbound exit.
The Toll Regulatory Board earlier issued an interim permit to operate the exit after it notified SMC that it complied with requirements.
“We are grateful to the Toll Regulatory Board for their support and close coordination with our operations team to open the Maria Clara exit for the benefit of the motoring public…Our team is working double-time to comply with the remaining requirements,” Ang said.
The SMC chief added it is deploying patrollers and road safety personnel to guide motorists using the new exit ramp.
Skyway Stage 3 connects the Skyway System from Gil Puyat Avenue in Makati City to Balintawak in Quezon City, where it links with the North Luzon Expressway.
