Starting March 2, 2025, motorists using the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) will face increased toll fees as the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has approved a toll rate adjustment.
The increase applies to both the NLEX Open System and the Closed System, as well as the Subic Freeport Expressway (SFEX). This adjustment aims to help recover investments in road improvements, including the newly completed Candaba Third Viaduct.
