February 21, 2011
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Almost nine million vehicles plied through the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) in 2010, according to a report by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).
The BCDA report said at least 8,958,201 vehicles in 2010 or about 24.55 percent increase compared to 7,089,863 vehicles in 2009 used the toll road.
BCDA is the owner and builder of the SCTEx.
Robert Gervacio, BCDA-SCTEx program manager for Operational Support Services, said the toll road generated P625.6 million from the period January to December 2010.
The generated income meant a 23.59-percent increase from the P506.2 million toll revenues generated in 2009.
The SCTEx is a 93.77-kilometer four-lane divided toll road limited access highway and considered as the country’s most scenic expressway showcasing the breathtaking landscape of Pampanga, Bataan, Zambales and Tarlac.
The expressway also features 12 interchanges, four major bridges, 42 minor bridges, 54 underpasses, 360 drainage structures, toll road facilities and equipment.
Of the 8.9 million vehicles that used the toll road in 2010, 84.32 percent belongs to the Class 1 vehicles or cars, jeepneys and other vehicles with two axles and not more than seven feet in height; 4.10 percent belongs to Class 2 vehicles that make up trucks with two axles and over seven feet high; and 11.58-percent consists of Class 3 vehicles or trucks with three or more axles and above seven feet high.
Moreover, Class 2 and 3 vehicles plying the SCTEx in 2010 rose by 4.25 percentage points to 15.68 percent compared to 11.43 percent in 2009.
Gervacio said considering 2010 was only the third year of commercial operations for the SCTEx, he expects traffic volume to increase by at least 10 percent in 2011.
“We expect a moderate traffic volume increase of some 10 percent for 2011 as more motorists get to the habit of using the SCTEx, owing to the stress-free driving and travel time saved compared to driving along the national, municipal and even barangay roads,” Gervacio said.
In terms of percentage share of traffic volume per interchange, the Mabalacat Interchange, that links to the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), was the busiest with a 32.34 percent traffic volume followed by the Tipo (Subic) Interchange, 15.35 percent; Tarlac City Interchange, 13.43 percent; San Miguel (Luisita) Interchange, 10.27 percent, and Dinalupihan Interchange, 9.72 percent.
The remaining interchanges namely: Concepcion, Clark North, Dolores, Clark South, Porac and Floridablanca registered a combined traffic volume percentage share of 13.69 percent. (Charlene Cayabyab)
