History
Construction of the NAIA Expressway Phase 1 was completed in 2009 It provided an entry/exit ramp to the then newly-opened NAIA Terminal 3 and Resorts World Manila. On January 2, 2014, construction began on Phase 2 of the NAIA Expressway. It included a extension of the expressway all the way to Macapagal Boulevard in Entertainment City, Parañaque via Andrews Avenue, Electrical Road and NAIA Road. On September 22, 2016 at exactly 12:01 AM, the second phase of the airport expressway from Macapagal Boulevard to NAIA Terminals 1 and 2 was opened to all motorists and airport passengers rushing to their flights in order to avoid the traffic lights at every intersection along NAIA Road. The opening of the elevated airport expressway was led by Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar. According to Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, the toll collection at the NAIAEx would begin on October 22, exactly one month after the opening of the airport tollway. On December 21, 2016 at exactly 6:00 AM, the Entertainment City-NAIA Road-SLEX-Skyway segment of the airport expressway was opened to all motorists for the Christmas rush.
