AN ACT
ESTABLISHING A SERVICE ROAD LINKING THE EASTERN AND
WESTERN SIDES OF THE NORTH LUZON EXPRESSWAY (NLEX) IN THE
PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) has become a major factor in the
growth and development of Central Luzon Particularly the Province of Pampanga.
However, the use of NLEX for short distance or inter-barangay travel has become
costly and impractical for many residing in the province.

It is therefore imperative for the government to provide an effective alternative
that would unclog traffic jams, cut travel time, reduce cost, enhance rural
Productivity, and link far-flung barangays to their city and town centers.

Hence, this bill proposes to construct a service road along the North Luzon
Expressway within the Province of Pampanga to help ease the transportation
problems experienced most notably by farmers and the ‘commuting public who need
to go through the NLEX even for every short distance trips.

In view of the foregoing, early passage of this measure is eamestly sought.
