SouthLuzonBridges.com is a website of Foundation
Specialists, the contractor awarded the rehabilitation and upgrading of seven
bridges and the new construction of a major viaduct across the San Juan Water Reservoir , along the South Luzon Expressway
[SLEX] being presently rehabilitated, upgraded and extended by the expressway new operator MTD.
The South Luzon Expressway is the major link between Metropolitan Manila
and all the provinces south of Manila in the Philippine Island
of Luzon.
The lack
of a reliable railway system, makes SLEX the strategic link to the developing and the developed South Luzon Cities and Provinces,
including the City of Batangas, with its new international container port, recently
completed.
The first
stretch of the South Expressway [as it was then called] was built by the Construction and Development Corporation of the Philippines
[CDCP] in the nineteen seventies, when the overall Philippine population was about forty million, and was never upgraded until
the present rehabilitation and expansion , in spite of the fast increase of population [90 million at present] and
of vehicles.
The
rehabilitation and retrofitting of bridges along SLEX, as well as the construction of new bridges, was given by the Expressway
Operator MTD to Foundation
Specialists, in the year 2007.
