Central Luzon Link Expressway, formerly known as Central Luzon Expressway was proposed in 2010 as a part of the project of increasing the radius of High Standard Highways of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) into a radius from Metro Manila. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 22, 2017, alongside with the beginning of construction. The construction is funded by a loan by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The expressway was originally planned to open in December 2020, but was repeatedly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
