BCDA boosting connectivity at New Clark City

NEW CLARK CITY — The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) is eyeing to boost the connectivity of the New Clark City by targeting the completion of 60-kilometers of road by the end of 2025.

According to BCDA president and chief executive officer Joshua M. Bingcang, this endeavor will also support the requirements of the agency’s locators and will stretch New Clark City’s road network by 57.18 kilometers by end-2025.

“This will cover almost 40 percent of the 148.44-kilometer total road length planned throughout the whole development,” he said.

“One of the main elements that make Clark so attractive to investors is its unmatched connectivity, supported by its own international airport, a nearby seaport, and major expressways. But we need to further build on this connectivity and invest more on infrastructure. By doing this, we can create the scale to make us more competitive against our neighbors and elevate New Clark City’s position as a premier investment hub,” Bingcang added.

New Clark City’s road projects involve multiple lanes, complete with bicycle and pedestrian lanes, solar street lights and linear parks, and drainage and slope protection structures to provide residents and locators of New Clark City convenient access to institutional, residential and mixed-use developments within the city.
