The Lapu-Lapu Expressway (LLEX), is a proposed 12-kilometre-long (7.5 mi) elevated expressway in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines. The expressway, once completed, will connect Mactan–Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City to the Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in the nearby municipality of Cordova. The project is designed to cut travel time between the Mactan–Cebu International Airport and Cebu City, and to maintain traffic congestion in the city and the crowding of motorists in the city's main highway.[1]
The expressway is set to be operational by 2025. Once completed, the expressway is projected to serve 50,000 vehicles per day.[2]
Construction and ground-breaking of the expressway was expected to start in September 2023, but necessary permits were still needed to be complied before the civil works of the Lapu-Lapu Expressway will start. The start of construction was instead targeted by the first quarter of 2024.[3]
The project is estimated to cost ₱24.8 billion, and will be built under a public-private partnership model.[4]
