NLEX-SLEX Connector

This is the Nlex Connector - Travel from North to South seamlessly, and Another way to Travel from North into South Luzon
As of this uploading, Nlex connector Espana section is now finally open, Students and commuters that reside in Camanava (Northwest Metro Manila), and some towns in Bulacan, or Pampanga, can be able to go to the University Belt, to their Work at Bay City CBDs like Mall of Asia Area, to the Dolomite Beach, and to Central Manila, including Ermita, Malate, Rizal Park, Manila City Hall, Intramuros, and More, through the Off/On-ramp at Espana for Northbound
To Familiarize Motorists that Pass through the Espana Interchange of Nlex Connector, You can turn right at that Avenue, for Motorists going to University Belt, including UST, Sampaloc, San Lazaro, Quiapo, Binondo, Intramuros, and Central Manila, while turn left at that Avenue, for Motorists going to Banaue, Welcoem Rotunda, EDSA-Quezon Avenue (In which the site of Line 8 Quezon Avenue Station will be built), Fairview, Novaliches, and SJDM
Phase 2 of Nlex Connector is at full blast construction, with its completion date after 300-360 days since March 27, with Columns, and Girders starting to erect, however, some challenges remain, including the Land Acquisition in the Pandacan area that is important for the Expressway to connect with Metro Manila Skyway, so that Motorists and trucks can go directly into Slex from Nlex, and it is a transition from Double-decker into the single-decker elevated expressway
Soon, by December 2027, if PNR's Closure for At-grade Train services will start this year, NLEX Connector will run parallel to PNR-NSCR Rail, making it a great combination of Expressway, and Railway, making it like a World-Class Road, and Rail Network, that connects North to South, that functions freight with elevated expressway, and passengers that commute for any purposes for the elevated railway
Also, the Midblock toll plaza near the Espana Ramp, and its structures, and Toll Gate functionality works is almost completed, and it will be ready, once Nlex Connector begins toll collection in mid-2023, including RFID, and Cash lanes for the toll gate
As of this day, more, and more columns are currently being erected for the Sta. Mesa, and Pandacan Section, from Espana On/Off Ramp to Sta. Mesa-Magsaysay Boulevard, with some, are having pierheads, and even girders installed, so Sta. Mesa section of Nlex Connector remains on-track
During its construction from 2021 to 2024, Nlex connector used Sosrobahu technique, which means a thousand shoulders in the Javanese language of Indonesia, Sosrobahu is not just used for building Elevated Expressways/Flyovers above the existing at-grade roads, but also to the PNR Rails existing it below, and also, Narrow at-grade roads, without Sosrobahu, Nlex Connector's construction will be difficult, and impossible, because of Obstacles below, and this is the first time that a elevated expressway outside of SMC Infrastructure, will be used too, for MPTC Expressways
When fully completed by 2024, trucks will be able to avoid Truck Ban, and decongest surrounding roads, where trucks (either light or heavy) will pass throug, and trucks can be able to travel from North to South, as Rest of Skyway Stage 3 is impossible for heavier trucks to pass through
Nlex Connector was proposed in the first years of the 21st century, now, thanks to BBB (Build Build Build or Buildx3) or BBM (Build Build More), Nlex Connector is already pushing through, depsite the challenges and Nlex Connector is one of the 3 Expressway planned to connect Slex to Nlex, aside from the existing MMSS3 and on-hold Southeast-Northeast Metro Manila Expressway, that is supposed to connect to ARCA South, to NLEX Philippine Arena CBD, with another extension to NMIA
In the long-term, when a combo of Nlex Connector, and PNR-NSCR Completes it will totally get a relief from the commuters when it comes to travelling, because as Manila is overcrowded, we need transportation not just for roads, but for railways too, and Nlex Connector, as well as PNR-NSCR is part of Infrastructure program, that aims to achieve First-World status by the decade of 2040s

=== Ainsley Louis I. Mallari / Ainsleyfrastructure ===
Our Government and Private Sector should build public housing apartments that are Transit-oriented developments with Nlex connector, and the PNR-NSCR, similar to Singapore, and the first priority, should be housing residents that are affected by the construction of these said projects, and then, erasing slums near to that said project, by building more public housing buildings, that reduce, or eliminate housing backlog, for our ordinary Filipinos in Caloocan, and Manila district of Manila
=== Brenan's Suggestions ===
Please Add A Partial Stack Interchange In Blumentritt, Espana and Santa Mesa
== Teaser ==
For Northbound Motorists going to Espana Avenue, you can turn right, if you want to go to Quezon City, Novaliches, and Fairview Area, or turn left, if you want to go to the University Belt, or Quiapo, or Sta.
