NLEX to waive toll fees on June 22, 2025 from Balintawak to Meycauayan amid Marilao Bridge repair
The NLEX Corporation said Saturday it is temporarily waiving toll fees from Balintawak to Meycauayan northbound on the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) while the Marilao Bridge is being repaired. The temporary toll relief will start on Sunday, June 22, at 1 a.m. and will end at 12:00 midnight. "To facilitate the immediate repairs of the Marilao Overpass Bridge, which sustained severe damage from a truck violating regulations, NLEX Corporation will implement temporary toll relief on the northbound portion of the expressway from Balintawak to Meycauayan starting June 22, 2025 at 1:00am until 12:00 midnight. Marilao Bridge going to MacArthur Highway has been closed temporarily until June 26 for repair work. The company said appropriate traffic management measures will be in place to minimize the inconvenience posed to motorists. A stop-and-go scheme is being implemented in the area, NLEX Corp. said. "We ask for the motoring public's patience and understanding," NLEX Corp. said in a statement. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) earlier directed NLEX Corp. to immediately suspend the collection of toll in the Marilao northbound segment of the expressway, following the fatal accident Wednesday when a truck hit the Marilao Interchange Bridge anew. DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon also said NLEX Corporation will be held liable for the said accident. On Wednesday, a truck hit the Marilao Interchange Bridge, killing a 54-year-old passenger of an Asian utility vehicle (AUV). Based on the initial investigation of the Marilao police, the trailer truck passed the Meycauayan exit to go back to Malabon, but it hit the interchange bridge on the northbound lane when it arrived in Marilao. A beam from the bridge fell and hit the vehicle behind the truck, resulting in the death of a passenger of an AUV and injuries of others, including a two-year-old kid. According to the truck driver, he had no idea that the truck would strike the bridge because he supposedly passes there almost every day when going from Meycauayan to Malabon. The truck driver is now in the custody of Marilao police and will face complaints of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide and serious physical injuries and damage to property. Last March, a trailer truck also damaged the Marilao Interchange Bridge. —KG, GMA Integrated News
