About NLEX & SCTEX
The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is the premier gateway to Northern Luzon, spanning over 100 kilometers from Balintawak, Quezon City to Sta. Ines, Mabalacat City, Pampanga. It serves as a critical artery for trade, tourism, and daily commuting, connecting Metro Manila to the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga.
Connected seamlessly is the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), a 94-kilometer four-lane expressway. It links the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Zambales, the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, and the Central Techno Park in Tarlac, making travel to these economic hubs faster and safer.
