The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), in partnership with its public and private sector partners, is planning to expand the road interchange connecting Luisita Access Road in Tarlac City to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX).
This is an effort to decongest traffic, improve regional mobility, and unlock new investment and employment opportunities in the region, BCDA said in a statement.
Currently, the interchange only provides passage for motorists driving to and from the south. “The Luisita Interchange Expansion is a vital step toward unlocking Tarlac’s full economic potential,” BCDA president and chief executive officer Joshua Bingcang said.
“By improving regional mobility and access to key industrial zones and new townships, we are not only easing travel for motorists but also paving the way for greater investments, jobs, and inclusive growth in Central Luzon,” Bingcang added.
BCDA said the proposed construction of the new Luisita interchange will help ease travel for motorists heading to and from the northern part of Luzon, significantly improving accessibility and connectivity in the region. It will also reduce congestion along the MacArthur Highway and adjacent roads in Tarlac.
Expanding the interchange will also provide vital access to industrial hubs and township developments in the province, such as Luisita Industrial Park, Central Techno Park, Cresendo Estates, and TARI Estate.
Ultimately, BCDA said this will boost the competitiveness of Central Luzon as an investment destination, driving more economic activities and unlocking more employment opportunities for local communities.
The project will also contribute to the government’s efforts to support connectivity along the Luzon Economic Corridor, which will help position the region as a strategic manufacturing and electronics hub.
