CLARK FREEPORT – Construction work at the Clark-South Interchange, which would link the Clark Freeport and nearby Angeles City and Mabalacat town to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx), is set to start early next year, reports here said.

Executive Vice President Isaac Puno III of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), during a briefing at the Hilltop inside the Mimosa Golf and Country Club, reported that the construction date was based on the BCDA’s revision and assessment of the area.

“We are set to start construction [of the Clark-South Interchange] by early next year as per our assessment and revision of the area’s geography,” said Puno, who is also program manager for the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway Project (SCTEP).

Also, Puno added that the Clark-South Interchange would cost the government an initial P314 million.

The Clark-South Interchange is among the three interchanges that would connect the province of Pampanga to the 21-billion SCTEx project.

The two other interchanges would be built at the Hacienda Dolores in Porac town and in Floridablanca town. The Porac interchange would cost P260 million while the Floridablanca interchange would cost P280 million.

Earlier, Clark Development Corporation President Levy Laus lobbied before President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for the construction of the Clark-South Interchange in a bid to further spur development inside the Clark Freeport.

Laus said the construction of the CSI is expected to attract more investors inside the Freeport as Presidential infrastructure projects will realize the government’s vision to make Clark and Subic Bay Freeport Zone as the premier logistics hub in the Asian pacific region.

The CDC president hoped that the interchange inside Clark will be completed in time for the inauguration of the project in the first quarter of 2008.
