The two projects, which are joint ventures between the Philippine National Construction Corp (PNCC) and SMHC, were approved as toll roads. The TRB said the approval paves the way for discussions on the technical, financial, and legal details of the 2 projects that will lead to the finalization of the concession agreement. The extension of the SLEX from Lucena City to Gumaca is the first segment of a planned 420-kilometer expressway called Toll Road 5 (TR-5) going all the way to Matnog, Sorsogon. The Lucena-Gumaca segment will span 61 kilometers and has an estimated cost of P22.6 billion, with a construction timetable of 24 months.
