Some parts of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) will be closed to public to give way to the construction of the Northern Access Link Expressway (NALEX).

On Thursday, NLEX Corporation announced that the lane from the Libis Baesa Overpass up until the Eternal Gardens Memorial Park will be closed beginning first week of March.

"To give way to the SMC’s Northern Access Link Expressway project near Balintawak Toll Plaza, a 450-meter lane closures on both northbound and southbound directions will be implemented," NLEX said in its advisory.

Here are the scheduled closure:

Mar. 1, 10:00 pm to Mar. 2, 4:00 am; Mar. 2, 10:00 pm to Mar. 3, 4:00 am; Mar. 7, 10:00 pm to Mar. 8, 4:00 am

• Leftmost lane, northbound and southbound, middle lane for southbound

Mar. 3, 10:00 pm to Mar. 4, 4:00 am; Mar. 4, 10:00 pm to Mar. 5, 4:00 am; Mar. 5, 10:00 pm to Mar. 6, 4:00 am; Mar. 6, 10:00 pm to Mar. 7, 4:00 am

Based on the Toll Regulatory Board website, NALEX will be consisting of two phases.

The first phase is a “proposed 136.4-kilometer expressway that is envisioned to provide connectivity between the Metro/Mega Manila, the New Manila International Airport, and Central Luzon as an extension and/or linkage of the Metro Manila Skyway-Stage 3 at Balintawak.”

The second phase, meanwhile, is a demand-driven expansion from Masantol, Pampanga to Tarlac City.
