The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) recently approved a toll rate adjustment of Php 4.00 following the completion and opening last June of the P7 Billion NLEX Harbor Link 2.6 -kilometer elevated section between the new Caloocan Interchange at C3 Road/5th Avenue and the new Navotas Interchange along R-10/Mel Lopez Boulevard.
While the regulatory approvals could have been implemented earlier this year, the increase has been deferred in consideration of the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The increase which takes effect past midnight or 12:01 am on November 25, 2020, will amount to P4.00 in the open system and Php 0.06 per kilometer in the closed system.
The open system, where a flat rate is charged per entry, includes Quezon City, Caloocan City, Valenzuela City, Malabon City, Navotas City, Meycauayan City and Marilao, Bulacan. Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling anywhere within the open system will pay an additional PhP 4.00 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and SUVs), Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks) will pay an additional PhP 10.00, and Class 3 vehicles will pay an additional PhP11.00.
For end-to-end travel, vehicles traveling from Metro Manila to Mabalacat City in Pampanga will be charged an additional toll of Php 9.00, Php 20.00, and Php 25.00 per class.
