Manila–Cavite Expressway

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Manila–Cavite Expressway, commonly referred to as CAVITEX, is a 14-kilometer-long (8.7 mi) controlled-access highway linking Metro Manila to the province of Cavite in the Philippines. Its northern terminus is at Roxas Boulevard in Parañaque, while its southern terminus in Kawit will be connected to the CAVITEX–CALAX Link (CCLink), which will provide a direct connection to the Cavite–Laguna Expressway (CALAX) upon completion. It forms part of Expressway 3 (E3) of the Philippine expressway network and Radial Road 1 (R-1) of Metro Manila's arterial road network. CAVITEX is operated and maintained by the PEA Tollway Corporation (PEATC), a non-chartered government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC) and a subsidiary of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), an agency under the Office of the President. PEATC is in a joint venture with the Cavite Infrastructure Corporation (CIC), a unit of Metro Pacific Investments.
