About MCX traffic: where queues form
MCX is the shortest expressway in the Philippines at just 4 km, but it serves a critical function connecting SLEX at Susana Heights to Daang Hari Road in Cavite. This single-segment expressway is a vital link for residents of the Daang Hari corridor, including Alabang West, Portofino, and other upscale developments, who need to reach SLEX and Manila.
Despite its short length, MCX can experience significant congestion during rush hours. When it is slow, there is no way to bypass it on the expressway, the only alternative is using local Daang Hari and Alabang-Zapote surface roads, which are themselves congested.
