Welcome back to Lyndon Speaks!
12 years after the Metro Manila Skyway has operated, the sky-reaching road opened its arms to the southern-most part of the Metro. The Skyway Alabang entry/exit points are now open.
The Skyway is an elevated highway above the busy roads of the South Luzon Expressway [SLEX]. It offers motorists an easy and fast access from and to the heart of the Metro and its southern-lying cities.
Initially servicing Makati City, Pasay City and Paranaque City, the Skyway has now opened its doors for people on the southern-most end of the Metro - the Muntinlupa City. The Skyway recently opened its entry and exit ramps along SLEX-Muntinlupa and the Alabang South Station.
Undeniably, Skyway lessens, in great amount, the travel time from the Metro to its southern cities as well as to the southern provinces of the main island of the Philippines. With the addition of the new ramps, motorists will enjoy traveling to the south and explore more alluring places without ever thinking of the heavy traffic jams on their way. Motorists will also have a breath-taking view of the Metro from above.
News reported that Skyway is yet to expand their roads up north - connecting the North Luzon and South Luzon Expressways. This stage is still under planning. While waiting for it, let us just enjoy the benefits the current Skyway offers us.
To guide you, here is the list of all entry and exit ramps of the Metro Manila Skyway:
Alabang South Station (North Bound [NB]/South Bound [SB])
SLEX-Hillsborough [between Sucat and Alabang] (NB/SB)
Sucat along Dr. A. Santos Avenue (NB/SB)
Bicutan along Dona Soledad Avenue (NB/SB)
Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NB/SB)
Magallanes Exit (NB/SB)
Makati - Don Bosco St. (NB)
Makati - Amorsolo St. (NB)
Makati - Pasay Road (SB)
Makati - Buendia Ave. (NB/SB)
Take note that the San Martin de Porres temporary entry and exit ramps (NB/SB) located before Bicutan (NB) is now CLOSED.
Also, watch out for toll fee increases in two weeks time.
That's it!
Happy traveling!
Skyway on!
