This is a travel guide for Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX).


The Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX), also known as the Central Luzon Link Freeway, is a partially operational expressway in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines. It will connect the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and the Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEX) to the currently under-construction North Luzon East Expressway in Cabanatuan towards San Jose, Nueva Ecija.

It is currently toll-free and exclusively open to Class 1 vehicles but it will be tolled and opened to other classes of vehicles in the future.

WHAT TO BRING: Travel Essentials

Here are some things you might consider bringing with you for your day tour / adventure:

Shopee is my go-to app for things I needed like the ones above. If you'd like discounts and vouchers, you may get the best offers here:

CLLEX ROUTE

CLLEX runs in an east-west direction from Tarlac City to San Jose, Nueva Ecija. The entire route is built as a four-lane expressway mostly laid out on embankment.

CLLEX Project

Phase 1
From the west, CLLEX begins at a trumpet interchange with the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEX) in Tarlac City. The expressway intersects Santa Rosa–Tarlac Road at a diamond interchange where the expressway passes above grade. The expressway then passes agricultural land, before turning east as it enters La Paz.

It crosses La Paz–Victoria Road where an interchange serving entering westbound vehicles and exiting eastbound vehicles, connects the two. The expressway continues east as it crosses through a viaduct over the Rio Chico River, and crosses the Tarlac–Nueva Ecija boundary before crossing the Talavera River.



The expressway then continues east as it enters Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija. It turns northeast as it meets Zaragoza interchange, a trumpet interchange connecting with Zaragoza–Aliaga Road. It makes a reverse curve turning southeast before crossing Guimba–Aliaga Road as it enters Aliaga, where a temporary exit is built as the expressway's current terminus.

In 2010, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) formulated the creation of an expressway network under the High Standard Highway Network Development Master Plan, focusing on a growth area within the 200 km radium sphere of Metro Manila. The DPWH, under JICA's assistance, completed the feasibility study for the proposed Central Luzon Expressway (CLEX) on the same year.

The proposed project was to divided into two (2) phases: Phase 1 with a 30.7 km network beginning from the connection of SCTEX and TPLEX in Balingcanaway, Tarlac City and ends at the Pan-Philippine Highway (Daang Maharlika) in Caalibangbangan, Cabanatuan City; and Phase 2 with 35.7 km network beginning from the Phase 1 terminus in Cabanatuan City and ends at San Jose town proper.



The project was renamed to Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX) in 2011 after the preparatory survey and final report plan for Phase 1 was concluded.

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) would fund the construction of the 66.4-kilometer CLLEX, while operation and maintenance would be under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. The construction of the CCLEX Phase 1 project was funded thru the Official Development Assistance (Japan) grant of ¥22,796,000,000 (₱11.87 billion, March 2012 exchange rate) at a signing agreement ceremony by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Alberto F. Romulo and Japan Ambassador Toshinao Urabe.

In the President Benigno Aquino III's State of the Nation address in 2014, the CLLEX was one of many of the administration's priority projects involving massive infrastructure spending in Central Luzon.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 22, 2017, along with the beginning of construction. The expressway was originally planned to open in December 2020, but was repeatedly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first 18 kilometers (11 mi) of the expressway from Tarlac City to Aliaga was inaugurated by President Rodrigo Duterte on July 15, 2021. The expressway opened to vehicles on the same day.

In July 2022, DPWH announced that CLLEX will be completed by July 2023. The current Phase 1 terminus in Aliaga will see an extension of seven kilometers up to San Juan Interchange and four kilometers to Umangan–Julo Road, before ending at Felipe Vergara Highway and the Pan–Philippine Highway.

OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Parking area near accommodation

We arrived at noon time on the first day of our stay at the resort. Jampacked on our travel, we had to fill our bellies to recharge for the other half of the day. So we had lunch at Armando's Restaurant - an in-house resto-bar in Armando's Garden Resort.


ARMANDO'S RESTAURANT

Armando's Restaurant

We're happy to try their own version of Boodle Fight - a feast where food is usually served on banana leaves and eaten without utensils.

We had Boodle Set C which includes servings of tempura, Dinakdakan, mixed seafood, Kalderetang Kambing, Ginataang Sitaw at Kalabasa, Tinolang Manok, salted eggs, plain rice and bagoong rice. Plus buko pandan and a pitcher of red iced tea. SEE MENU


Armando's bar and restaurant mainly offers local artisan food and commercial beverages such as beers and alcoholic drinks.

After having a satisfying meal, we took our siesta in the afternoon. Of course, who will miss merienda? We also tried their special halo-halo and some of their brick oven pizza - the first in Nueva Ecija!


Their halo-halo was a cool treat to us - perfect snack in the balmy afternoon. While their pizzas woke us up with cheesy and meaty toppings. They also use natural and organic ingredients mainly from the province. SEE MENU

For dinner, we had 2 of their appetizers - Sizzling Pork Sisig and Sizzling Chicken Sisig. To top it off, we also savor with their very own Armando's Chicken and Special Bulalo. Both were so soft, almost fall-off-the-bones.


The chicken was so tasty, a perfect match with their warm rice. The bulalo on the other hand has a flavorful soup and tender beef plus the buttery (sinusutsot) "utak". SEE MENU

The following day, we had their classic "silog" meals for our breakfast, came with hot brewed coffee, a great way to start the day.



MERIENDA BUFFET

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Armando's offers all-you-can-eat merienda.

HOW TO GET TO ARMANDO'S GARDEN RESORT

Going to Armando's Garden Resort is never a hassle. However, it's advisable that you bring your own vehicle going to the resort for more convenient travel.


Thinking of Nueva Ecija, all I know is Gapan and Pantabangan (reminds me of my Baler trips). So I thought, it would be a long ride from Metro Manila. However, it's not the case for Armando's Garden Resort.

If you are coming from any point in Metro Manila, the best way to start off your travel is to take NLEX then head off SCTEX until you reach TPLEX. Travel time is more or less than an hour (depending on your stopover). Toll fee is about Php 360.00.

TPLEX Anao Exit

From TPLEX's tollgate, for less than an hour, you take Anao Exit to get to the Municipality of Cuyapo. Brgy. Malineng, where the resort is located in, is 30 minutes away from TPLEX Anao Exit.

Please use Waze (not Google Maps) for more accurate directions. If you don’t have a private vehicle, you can rent a car or van here.

You can book a bus trip or rent a car via 12go.


COVID-19 UPDATE

Traveling from NCR to Nueva Ecija is allowed depending to your reason of visit. You also have to bring your vaccination card, valid IDs and quarantine pass (if you have one). PNP/AFP might stop and check your vehicle upon entry or exit of Nueva Ecija. 

PARKING
Bringing your own vehicle is no problem! Armando's Garden Resort has a wide and spacious parking area.
