CALAX completion delayed to Q1 2023 due to COVID-19 Apr 30, 2021 6:51 PM PHT The completion of the entire 45-kilometer Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2023 due to the pandemic. At a virtual briefing with reporters, MPCALA Holdings president and general manager Roberto Bontia said the Cavite segment will be completed by the first quarter of 2023, if right-of-way (ROW) acquisition would be finalized by the end of June 2021. ROW acquisition has been challenging, Bontia told reporters, as some courts had to be placed under lockdown due to infections. Overall ROW acquisition for the Cavite segment is at 55.5%. Clearing, tree-cutting activities, and earthworks are currently in progress for Cavite subsections with completed ROW.
