House Bill No.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Service roads are constructed as alternative routes to main road networks to
abbreviate the travel time of motorists and commuters who intend to go to nearby areas.

Presently, however, there is no service road connecting the Malinta Interchange to
Meycauayan City Interchange and from Meycauayan City Interchange to the Marilao
Interchange. The riding public has to spend so much money and material time just to get
from one point to the next as they will have to utilize the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX)
even for short distance destinations, Moreover, a service road system in this area is an
alternative route from Metro Manila and North Luzon without passing through the NLEX.

This bill seeks to make short distance travels practical and cost-effective by providing
for the establishment of service roads in this area.

This bill was filed during the 15" and 16" Congresses, But due to time constraints,
however, no further action was taken on it. This bill is filed during this 17"" Congress for its

consideration.

Support for the enactment of this measure is earnestly requested.
