After the construction of CCLEX connecting mainland Cebu to Lapu-Lapu Island through Cordova, Lapu-Lapu City is also now pushing their plans to construct LLEX!
Shorter Route to MCIA
Traveling to Mactan-Cebu International Airport can be grueling sometimes, especially if it is already in the rush hour. However, a planned construction of a bridge might remedy this problem.
Last Thursday, July 11, 2024, Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard ‘Ahong’ Chan disclosed in his speech in the Tourism Dialogue held in Shangri-La Mactan that the city is set to begin constructing an expressway aiming to reduce the travel time going to Mactan-Cebu International Airport.

Mayor Chan further disclosed in his speech that the bridge will be named Lapu-Lapu Expressway. Further announcing that the signing of the memorandum of understanding will be done after the week Tourism Dialogue took place.
“By next week, we will be signing the memorandum of understanding with the proponent PMI and the new partner, which is the Manny Pangilinan group. After the signing next week, we will immediately begin the project.”

The memorandum will be signed along with Premium Megastructures Inc. and a new partner, the MVP Group of Companies. As of now, the layout of the LLEX is still under finalization. The bridge will aim to connect the Pilipog Bridge to MCIA.
The bridge will have its starting point in Barangay Babag 2, and will be passing through the following Lapu-Lapu sites:
Mactan Economic Zone – Mactan Aviation Road – Barangays Pajac – Buaya – Bankal – Ibo
The bridge will then have its exit point in Pusok.
— The construction of the bridge will surely be a huge benefit for many Cebuano people, especially when they are running late to their flight schedules. Additionally, this will also help lessen the road congestion of Lapu-Lapu roads.
