Winners – Switch-on Category

“Congratulations to all the winners! We want to express our heartfelt thanks to all those who joined,” said CCLEC President and General Manager Allan Alfon.

“We appreciate those who take photos of our toll bridge expressway project and post them on their social media accounts. The work you put into taking the images of CCLEX is really heart-warming. These photos not only inspire us who are working on the project, but also those with whom you share them,” said Alfon.

“By taking and sharing these beautiful photos, you make Cebuanos both here and abroad experience through your images this new landmark that will change the landscape of Cebu, boost economic activities, and help uplift the lives of its residents,” Alfon said.

CCLEX is a P30-billion toll bridge that will link mainland Cebu from the South Road Properties in Cebu City to Mactan island through the Municipality of Cordova.

Set to be a new landmark in the country, CCLEX will have two lanes in each direction that will provide a safe, quick and scenic passage to an estimated 50,000 vehicles daily, easing the traffic in the existing Marcelo Fernan Bridge and the Mandaue-Mactan Bridge.

CCLEX is a project of the CCLEC, in partnership with the local government units of Cebu City and the Municipality of Cordova.

CCLEC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), a publicly listed infrastructure holding company and a member of the MVP Group of Companies.
