highway to progress?

 the new Clark to Subic expressway

(no individual captions for the photos arrived, so let us just look at them and enjoy. )

 

Thought you'd like to see these pictures of the freeway....please scroll
down way below and see the newly-opened Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway...

It looks like a hilltop was blasted and leveled to make way for the
expressway (just like freeways in the U.S.).

The Philippines now have a world-class freeway it can be proud of.

Great engineering work.  The SCTEx runs through several hills that were
sloped to prevent erosion.

Okay, kabalens!  Which river bed is this?

The SCTEx looks like a freeway in California in this photo.

The newly opened expressway is proving to be a busy one already.

SCTEx looks like a freeway in Colorado, USA, in this photo.

That's Mt. Arayat on the horizon.

This is near the former Clark Air Base.  A passenger jetliner is about to
land on Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA). ( to be seen in the next batch )

The highway on the right must be Roxas Hi-Way at Clark Special Economic Zone
(the former Clark Air Base)

The exit ramp leading to the Northern Luzon Expressway (NLEX) junction.

Let's hope Mt. Arayat will keep its slumber for many centuries to come.
This entire area was covered with volcanic ash in early 1990's after the Mt.
Pinatubo's eruption.
