MANILA – The government is studying extending a toll road that leads to the capital’s airports to further ease chronic traffic jams, Public Works Secretary Mark Villar said Thursday.

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway could be extended to the Bonifacio Global City, Paranaque and Las Pinas, Villar told reporters.

“We’re currently studying various extensions for the NAIA expressway,” he said.

The 7.7-kilometer second phase of the NAIA expressway was opened earlier this month. The toll road connects terminals 1, 2 and 3 of NAIA to the Skyway and the Manila Cavite Expressway.
