MPTC kicks off the CCLEX Drive & Dine project

The Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) and its subsidiaries, namely Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corporation (CCLEC) and MPT Mobility, unveiled its latest project—the CCLEX Drive & Dine.

This new venture encompasses a 5,580 sqm, three-story food hub strategically situated along the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), connecting communities and catering to motorists in the Cebu region. From the name itself “Drive & Dine” this food hub is meant to provide motorists plying the expressway a more convenient way to grab food as well as be a travel destination itself. 

The groundbreaking ceremony for CCLEX Drive & Dine occurred at the Motorists Assistance Area near the CCLEX Toll Plaza on December 1, 2023. The event was presided over by Cordova Mayor Cesar E. Suan, Acting Cebu City Mayor Raymond Alvin N. Garcia, President and General Manager of Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corporation (CCLEC), Allan G. Alfon, MPT Mobility Regional Head. Other key figures in attendance included Rogelio L. Singson, President and CEO of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, Rodrigo E. Franco, Director at MPT Mobility, and Renie U. Ticzon, Division Head for Motorway Commercial Facilities at MPT Mobility.

Following in the footsteps of its similarly named counterpart in the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the CCLEX Drive & Dine is positioned to become a commercial dining and retail facility developed by MPT Mobility. 

Strategically situated between Cebu City and Cordova, CCLEX Drive & Dine is poised to enhance the culinary landscape of Metro Cebu. The hub aims to serve as a gateway to the unique flavors of Cebu's cultural scene. MPTC adds that locals and travelers can expect an impressive array of food service partners, with a diverse range of options, from quick refreshments and laid-back dining experiences to grand celebratory feasts.

MPTC’s recent projects have revolved around its broader vision of Smart Urban Mobility, the CCLEX Drive & Dine project is one such initiative, prioritizing the customer’s experience above all else. The anticipated opening of CCLEX Drive & Dine is expected to take place in the middle of 2024.
