Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu will have its first-ever skyway that will link the Mactan-Cebu International Airport to the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) or the third bridge, the Lapu-Lapu Expressway (LLEX).
LLEX is under a Private-Public Partnership (PPP) arrangement of Lapu-Lapu city government together with Premium Megastructures, Inc (PMI), Ulticon Builders, Inc., and MTD Philippines, Inc.
The project will cut down on city traffic congestion and lessen the time it takes drivers to get from the airport to the Cebu South Road Properties (SRP) to seven minutes. Secondary gains that LLEX can bring to the city are more economic growth from investors and more traffic on its tourist spots both of which will generate more jobs for its citizens.
