Published May 16, 2021, 12:19 AM From the twin woes of a health crisis and an extreme economic slowdown, the business and industry sectors are now gearing for a much-awaited economic turnaround that could materialize after the government’s massive immunization against COVID-19 shall have been implemented. Being firmed up in the pipeline are projects on expanded transport and mobility infrastructure, master-planned communities, convention centers, and tourism-oriented businesses. New-found resolve and energy for economic recovery is evident in Cebu province, specifically Cebu City and adjoining municipalities. Being built in Cebu is the Cebu Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), a P30-billion 8.5-kilometer road project of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC). The CCLEX includes the third bridge to cross the Mactan Channel that would connect the Cebu metropolis to the outlying towns on Mactan Island. It would enable motorists to steer clear of heavy traffic now being experienced at the Mandaue-Mactan Bridge and the Marcelo Fernan Bridge.
