This is a travel guide for Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX).


The Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEX), signed as E1 of the Philippine expressway network and R-8 of the Metro Manila arterial road network, is a controlled-access toll expressway that connects the Central Luzon region with the Ilocos Region.
TPLEX Logo

From its northern terminus at Rosario in La Union to its southern terminus at Tarlac City, the expressway has a length of 89.21-kilometer (55.43 mi), cutting through the various provinces in northern Central Luzon.

While proposals for a construction of an expressway system from Metro Manila to La Union had been raised before the 2000s, the construction of the TPLEX only began in January 2010.

The expressway began operations on October 31, 2013. The final section from Pozorrubio to Rosario was opened to motorists on July 15, 2020.

TPLEX ROUTES

TPLEX follows a route that parallels the MacArthur Highway, running through the provinces of Tarlac, Pangasinan, and La Union.

The expressway has four lanes, two per direction, separated by Jersey barriers. Sections by exits, toll plazas, viaducts, and their approaches are illuminated at night. Significant sections are built on embankments overlooking rice paddy fields.

The expressway crosses the four rivers in the Pangasinan province. The rivers along the TPLEX are the Agno River, Binalonan River, Aloragat River, and the Bued River.

TPLEX Map

The Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway starts in Tarlac City as an extension of the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway. The expressway passes through the municipalities of Victoria, Pura, Ramos, and Anao. Significant stretches of the expressway in Tarlac are built on embankments, and existing roads cross through underpasses built on cuts in the embankment. The road passes to Nampicuan and Cuyapo in Nueva Ecija without exit before entering Pangasinan, at the municipality of Rosales.

The Pangasinan segment of TPLEX starts at the Rosales municipality. The expressway then crosses through a viaduct over the Agno River, then enters Urdaneta, which is served by a single interchange to connect with Manila North Road. The Urdaneta exit was the expressway's northern terminus before the extension to Binalonan. Past Urdaneta Exit, TPLEX crosses above the Manila North Road, then passes over Binalonan and Pozorrubio. The last exit in the province is Sison, still under construction and not yet included in the opening of the main carriageway.

Past the Sison exit, the expressway crosses as a viaduct over the Bued River. The road then enters the Rosario municipality, where the main northern toll plaza is located. Past the Rosario toll plaza, a spur road connects to the Rosario rotunda. This is the expressway's northern terminus. Proposals have been raised to extend the project to Laoag in Ilocos Norte.



TPLEX CONCEPTION AND CONSTRUCTION

Despite calls to create an expressway system from the Philippine capital of Manila to Rosario, the southernmost town of the La Union province had been raised before the turn of the millennium. These calls began to bear fruit in the mid-2000s. In 2005, construction began on the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), a linked expressway system reaching Tarlac City. This was an improvement over the North Luzon Expressway's terminus which reached only to Mabalacat, Pampanga.

In 2006, Congressional representatives from Northern Luzon took advantage of the final reading of House Bill 5749 to lobby for a project to extend the expressway to Rosario, as a means to boost trade, tourism, and reduce travel times in the provinces of Tarlac, Eastern Pangasinan, and La Union. This lobbying led the Arroyo administration in October 2006 to announce a ten-year plan to extend the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) from Mabalacat, Pampanga, to Rosario, La Union, and extend the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) from Calamba, Laguna, to Lucena in Quezon, and eventually to Matnog, Sorsogon.

In 2008, the SCTEX was formally opened, setting the stage for developing the TPLEX, which would extend beyond the SCTEX's terminus in Tarlac City. The initial construction plan for the TPLEX called for it to be implemented in two phases: The first phase would involve constructing two lanes, with the second phase expanding it to four lanes to accommodate 25,000 vehicles.

The proposed superhighway would be built parallel to MacArthur Highway, passing through the city of Tarlac and the municipalities of La Paz, Gerona, Victoria, Pura, Anao, and Ramos in Tarlac, Nampicuan and Cuyapo in Nueva Ecija and Rosales, Villasis, Urdaneta, Binalonan, Laoac, Pozorrubio, and Sison in Pangasinan, and Rosario, La Union.

TPLEX Phase 1 & 2

The first phase of the Tarlac-La Union Expressway started in January 2010. In April 2013, San Miguel Corporation announced that the segment from Tarlac City up to Urdaneta will be built with four lanes, instead of the initial plan of two lanes only. However, this also pushed back the opening day of the expressway from June 2013 to November 2013.

On October 25, 2013, the Toll Regulatory Board authorized the issuance of the Toll Operation Permit for the Tarlac City–Pura segment of the TPLEX after the construction of that segment was completed by Private Infra Dev Corp. (PIDC), the all-Filipino consortium backed by conglomerates San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and DMCI Holdings, Inc.

This first phase, referred to as section 1A, begins with a connection to SCTEX, then stretches 17 kilometers (11 miles) from Tarlac City to Victoria, and then to Pura, Tarlac.

On December 23, 2013, the expressway opened up to Ramos, Tarlac, bringing TPLEX up to 23 kilometers (14 mi) of its operational length. On April 16, 2014, phase 1 of the project was completed when the Rosales section was opened. In December 2014, phase 2 of the project, covering 13.72 kilometers (8.53 mi) from Carmen to Urdaneta, was opened to traffic, as what PIDC president Mark Dumol had announced on the day the completion of phase 1 was announced.

TPLEX

TPLEX Phase 3

In December 2014, Dumol projected that the last section, covering 25.83 kilometers (16.05 mi) from Urdaneta to Rosario and including an exit in Pozorrubio, would be completed some time in 2015. However, there were delays in the implementation of the project, which included a highly disputed proposal to divert the exit 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) away to San Fabian in Pangasinan. The DPWH and the PIDC announced in July 2015 that they will continue to follow the original plan for the last phase exiting in Rosario, adding that this last phase would be completed by the following year, 2016.

This development phase was further subdivided into phase 3A, from Urdaneta to Pozorrubio, and phase 3B, Pozorrubio to Rosario. Section 3A would include trumpet-type interchanges at Binalonan and Pozorrubio, while section 3B include an interchange at Sison and the roundabout-style terminus interchange in Rosario, La Union.

After the opening of the exit at Pozorrubio in December 2017, the DPWH said segment 3B from Pozorrubio to Rosario is expected to be completed in June 2019.

By mid-August 2016, the first exit of section 3A, at Binalonan Exit, had been opened to the driving public.

By December 6, 2017, the last exit of section 3A, at Pozorrubio, Pangasinan, had been opened to the driving public.

In September 2016, DPWH said this exit of section 3A, which covers the 7.53 kilometers (4.68 mi). from Binalonan to Pozorrubio, was supposed to open in December 2016. The Binalonan to Pozorrubio section was expected to open around October 27, 2017, but the section did not open on that date due to the minor right-of-way issues on the missing 1-kilometer (0.62 mi) fence.

By July 15, 2020, the Pozorrubio to Rosario segment of the expressway opened to motorists, with the exception of the Sison exit, which was still under construction as the main carriageway opened.


La Union extension

As a part of the project of increasing the 200 kilometers (120 mi) radius of High Standard Highways of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) into a 300 kilometers (190 mi) radius from Metro Manila, the expressway will be extended to the city of San Fernando, La Union.

There are also plans to move the extension terminus to San Juan, La Union and will be divided into three segments, namely:
  • Segment 1 - Rosario to Tubao (18km)
  • Segment 2 - Tubao to Naguilian (23km)
  • Segment 3 - Naguilian to San Juan (18.4km)


Laoag extension

On June 11, 2013, at the San Miguel Corporation annual stockholders meeting, Chairman, Eduardo Cojuangco Jr., revealed plans to extend the expressway north to Laoag, Ilocos Norte. He said that extending the toll road to Laoag had been raised during the Arroyo administration.

Have you been to Elyu yet?

Surfing was not really my thing but I when I got to experience it in Baler, it just drives me to do it again.. at least to another surfing destination in the Philippines.

That's one reason I wanted to go to this province in the north (Luzon). But there's more to discover and explore in La Union!


ABOUT LA UNION

La Union, officially the Province of La Union, is a province in the Philippines located in the Ilocos Region in the Island of Luzon. Its capital is the City of San Fernando, which also serves as the regional center of the Ilocos Region.


From the mid-2000s to the early 2010s, an influx of entrepreneurs began putting up establishments such as boho-chic-style art hostels and third-wave coffeeshops in San Juan and Agoo.

They were initially attracted to the already-established surfing scene of Barangay Urbiztondo in San Juan, but eventually envisioned business in the province as an alternative to the stresses of city-based employment. This coincided with the phase-by-phase opening of the Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEX), which made La Union more accessible to tourists from Metro Manila.

Alongside the rising influence of social media outlets Twitter and Instagram, these factors led to a drastic tourism boom that made San Juan—previously been seen as just one of the Philippines' many surfing venues—a major backpacker's destination whose attractions centered on surfing and art.

Save this pin! 


San Juan began to be featured prominently in independent films such as Jay Abello's 2015 film Flotsam and JP Habac's 2017 film I’m Drunk, I Love You, and the province began to be referred to by the colloquial initialism “ElYu.”

Before traveling, you might want to check the live weather forecast and updates to make your trip even easier and safer for you. You can also get the latest report for land traffic in Metro Manila and major parts of the Philippines.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

In 2017, me and my friends went to La Union for a 2D1N stay. We were on a budget backpack trip so we didn't get a chance to explore more around La Union.


We began our trip in the morning and took a long walk to a wet market in San Juan that was closed upon our arrival.

We instead spend a few hours and had our breakfast at an opened 7 Eleven store nearby the municipal hall.



SAN JUAN

After a few hours we took a tricycle ride going to our booked transient in Urbiztondo. It is located along Urbiztondo Rd, an uphill narrow way coming from McArthur Hi-way. Landmark is "Tagpuan sa San Juan"



We checked in at noon, took some rest before we hit the famous San Juan Beach in the afternoon.


SAN JUAN BEACH 

Our trip was on a weekend so the crowd is expected. At around 4 PM, many tourists are roaming around the beach and more are in the water enjoying the splashes and small waves.

It was summer days in May, the best time to visit La Union (I guess). The waves are just perfect for beginners in surfing.



Since its May, the weather was also perfect for a dip into the sea. There are plenty of resorts in the area and restaurants where you can spend your afternoon at.


WHAT TO DO IN SAN JUAN

This beach is also decorated with different murals and artworks by local artists. Don't forget to take a selfie when you spot one!


Also, if you are a party-goer (not like me) this area in La Union is alive until midnight. The shore is filled with nightlife and activities at night. But if you are into serene moments (like me), you can also find a line of cafes along the highway.

On a Saturday night, some bars are open for you to chill at until midnight, too.

SAN FERNANDO

The following morning, we went off San Fernando's town proper to buy some food and things we need to end the day. It was just a few minutes jeepney ride from Urbiztondo. Just make sure to get the ones off to San Fernando's market.

SAN FERNANDO PROPER TOWN AND PUBLIC MARKET

On a Sunday morning, the market and the town proper are so busy - just like any markets in Metro Manila. Here, the community is thriving. You see street vendors. You see food-on-the-wheels.

Here, we got to try some of their usual street food including the best "lugaw" I've ever had in my life!


Not too far, you can also visit the famous Ma-Cho Temple which offers a breathtaking view of La Union.
