Balintawak to Subic in 1.5 Hours via SCTEX
Several years ago, going to Subic from Manila takes at least 4-5 hours. There was even a time when the Gapan-Olongapo Road was on its worst state that it takes forever to get pass through it. In fact, I remember back then, when going to Subic on an official business, I would take a small boat in CCP Manila to get to Subic. But that was a long time ago. Today, with the opening of the new Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, driving to Subic now only takes 1.5 hours after exiting the Balintawak Toll Gate.
Best part is, on the way to Subic while driving through this new highway, you’ll be treated with a nice view and sceneries highlighted seveal hill formations dissected to the center by the SCTEX road. Words could not describe the exhilirating feeling of driving through this highway. I’ll leave the photos to speak for themselves.
To go to SCTEX, go straight ahead North Luzon Expressway passing by the Dau Exit, a few meters away you will see the SCTEX exit. Pay the toll fee (P108), and enjoy the ride. You’ll end up at Tipo Exit in Subic.
interesting new road, it will be a tourist attraction. Thanks for sharing.
hey tnx for sharing how to get there! great photos
Wow! Nice blog, very inspiring
We recently used the SCTEX in going to Subic, and it was really fast! I last went to Subic five years ago, and it took a while because of the traffic. This road made the trip quicker. Although my only concern is that majority of the roads didn’t have lights yet…
The road to Forest hills village subic.
