The TPLEX Extension project will extend the expressway from Rosario to San Juan in La Union, featuring planned interchanges in the towns of Rosario, Tubao, Naguilian, Bauang, and the much-renowned surfing destination of San Juan.
The project will be constructed in three segments: Segment 1 covers 18 kilometers from Rosario to Tubao, Segment 2 spans 23 kilometers from Tubao to Naguilian, and Segment 3 stretches 18.4 kilometers from Naguilian through Bauang to San Juan.
Right now, the Tarlac – Pangasinan – La Union Expressway spans 89.21 km starting from Tarlac City and ending at Rosario. According to the Public-Private Partnership Center of the Philippines, the winning concessionaire will be given five years to complete the project from the signing of the contract. Meaning there will be a lot of time for you to plan your next La Union trip.
Of course, a trip and vacation to La Union is best made in a car that you love and adore, search for the vehicle of your dreams on AutoDeal.com.ph. Let’s make that vacation dream a reality.
