SLEX completes site acceptance test at San Pedro toll plaza

The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), in coordination with the Department of Transportation (DoTr), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), and San Miguel Infrastructure, has successfully completed the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) for the Toll Collection System (TCS) at the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) San Pedro Northbound Toll Plaza, Lane X01.

This technical milestone clears the way for the anticipated San Pedro Northbound Exit, which is tentatively scheduled to open to the public on 25 July 2025.

The SAT confirmed that all components of the toll collection system -- including software, hardware, and system integration -- meet TRB's stringent standards for safety, efficiency, and performance.

The project's successful completion was significantly driven by the efforts of Laguna First District Representative Ann Matibag as her active coordination with government agencies, persistent follow-ups, and dedicated advocacy for San Pedro's needs were crucial in advancing the project.

"The people of San Pedro have waited long enough. This project is not just about infrastructure -- it’s about access, progress, and respect for the daily struggles of our commuters,” Matibag said. “I thank our national partners for responding to our calls and helping deliver this long-promised solution to our people.”

The TRB extended its gratitude to DoTr Secretary Vince Dizon, DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan, TRB executive director Atty. Jay Art Tugade and MATES along with the personnel of their respective agencies, for their commitment to this vital project.

The new San Pedro Northbound Exit is expected to alleviate congestion, reduce travel times, and enhance traffic flow in the rapidly developing CALABARZON corridor, providing a significant benefit for both local residents and regional economic mobility.

Further announcements regarding toll rates, traffic advisories, and the formal inauguration ceremony are expected soon.
