Philippines, North Luzon Expressway Project

The North Luzon Expressway (NLE or NLEx), also called North Diversion Road, is a limited-access toll expressway that connects Metro Manila to the provinces of the Central Luzon region in the Philippines. It is one of the two branches of the R-8 major radial road of Metro Manila (Quirino Highway is the other).The expressway begins in Quezon City at a cloverleaf interchange with EDSA: a logical continuation of Andres Bonifacio Avenue. It then passes through the cities/municipalities of Caloocan City, Valenzuela City, Meycauayan, Marilao, Bocaue, Balagtas, Guiguinto, Plaridel, Pulilan, San Simon, San Fernando, Mexico and Angeles City. The expressway currently ends at Mabalacat and merges with the MacArthur Highway, which continues northward into the rest of Central and Northern Luzon.
