INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

6.1. Transportation

Angeles City, due to its strategic location has a relatively significant resident population and
predominantly service economy. There is a continuous movement of people and goods from one
location to another. Hence, it attracts a very large amount of inter and intra city traffic.
Consequently, the city continues to deal with its substantial demand for transportation.

Accessibility and mobility, therefore, are the city’s most indispensable commitment.

6.1.1. Existing Transportation Systems

Road Network - As of 2015, Angeles City has a total of 229.113 kilometers road length (Table 6-1),
giving a road density of 3.615 kilometer for every square kilometer. Using the city’s projected
population data 2015, its kilometer road density per 1,000 population is 0.63 which is lower than the
standard urban road density of 2.4 kilometer per 1,000 population ratio. Furthermore, Angeles City
has a paved road ratio of 0.89.

The City Engineer’s Office continues to maintain,rehabilitate, pave, either concrete or asphalt the
city and barangay roads, while all roads and bridges that areclassified as national are under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). In the aforementioned data,
there are still roads which are not reflected in the Angeles City Road and Rural Road Inventory
because these street/roads do not have Road ID.

In the city’s road network plan, there are proposed roads like the East Circumferential Road and the
Abacan RiverRoad Corridor. This may suffice for the city to meet the standard urban road density
requirement.

MacArthur Highway. This is the oldest inter-regional highway that connects Northern and Central
Luzon provinces from the national metropolis. Its original name was the Manila North Road but was
renamed MacArthur Highway, after it was concreted in the middle of the twentieth century. This
was the route traveled by the American Liberation Forces led by General Douglas MacArthur from
Pangasinan province to Manila when they liberated the country from Japanese occupation forces.

The Central Luzon section of the MacArthur Highway starts at Km 17+270 in Meycauayan City in
Bulacan and ends at Km 168+275 in San Manuel, Tarlac, giving a total length of 151.005 km. The
5.44 kilometer portion in Angeles City starts at Km 81+260 (boundary with the City of San Fernando)
and ends at Km 86+700 (boundary with Mabalacat City).

In 2007, the Traffic Engineering and Management Project Management Office (TEAM-PMO) of the
DPWH conducted a study for the proposed MacArthur Highway Traffic Management System Project
particularly in critical sections and congested areas in Region III. The study reveals the following
typical problems, to name a few:

Area Ecological Profile 2015 Page 145

Chapter 6: Infrastructure Development

 Lack or insufficient pedestrian facilities

 Unregulated Loading / Unloading Zones
 Poor and/or lack of road signs

In addition, there were identified nine (9) critical intersections along MacArthur Highway under the
DPWH’s Angeles Sub-District and these are (i) Sto. Rosario Street; (ii) Jesus Street; (iii)
Magalang/Entierro; (iv) De Guzman Street; (v) Magcalinis Street; (vi) Gueco Street; (vii) M.
Roxas/Clark Road; (viii) Dau Exit Road; and (ix) Sta. Ines Street.

Currently, MacArthur Highway is undergoing rehabilitation through the MacArthur Highway

Redevelopment Project. The latter covers the improvement/rehabilitation/upgrading of the highway
from Bulacan to Tarlac in the following order of priority:

 Widening of roadway into 4-lane thoroughfare including drainage component.

 Upgrading of flooded sections with drainage.
 Overlaying/rehabilitation of dilapidated sections.
 Improvement/widening of 12 existing bridges.
 Total replacement of 12 Deteriorated Bridges.
 Installation of road signs and traffic lights along identified critical intersections.

North Luzon Expressway (NLEx)formerly known as North Diversion Road. This is a limited-access toll
expressway that connects Metro Manila to the provinces of the Central and Northern Luzon
Regions.

NLEx begins in Quezon City specifically at a cloverleaf interchange withEpifanio Delos Santos Avenue
(EDSA), and then passes through Caloocan City and Valenzuela City in Metro Manila, Meycauayan,
Marilao, Bocaue, Guiguinto, Plaridel and Pulilan in Bulacan, San Simon, City of San Fernando, Mexico
and Angeles City in Pampanga. The expressway currently ends at Mabalacat and merges with the
MacArthur Highwayand the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx), which continues northward into
the rest of Central and Northern Luzon for the former and westward for the latter.

This 88 km toll way has two sections: an open section that charges a flat toll fee per vehicle class;
and closed section which is distance-based i.e. toll fee is based on the class of vehicle and distance
traveled.

Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx). This 94-kilometer four-lane expressway started its operation
in April 2008. It serves as a direct and exclusive road connection between major development areas
of Central Luzon (Subic, Clark, Tarlac). Its southwestern terminus is at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in
Zambales, then passes through the interchanges with the North Luzon Expressway near the Clark

Special Economic Zone in Angeles City, and Central Techno Park in Tarlac City, Tarlac; and its
northeaster terminus is in La Paz, Tarlac.

6.1.2. Bridges

As per Inventory of Bridges obtained from the City Engineer’s Office, there are a total of eighteen
(18) city bridges and five (5) national bridges. These bridges havegood to fair condition. Eight (8) city
bridges and one (1) national bridge need repainting while two (2) city bridges need lighting. (See

Chapter 6: Infrastructure Development

There are four (4) transport terminals which cater the outside city limit PUJs. These are:

1. SM Clark Terminal/Bayanihan Clark catering to the north bound sector such as Angeles to
Bamban, Capas, Concepcion, Mabalacat, Madapdap, Sta. Lucia, Dau-Check point, Clark to Main
Gate via Ex-Way-SM and Dau to Maingate;

2. Marquee Terminal caters to the East Bound Sector such as Angeles to Arayat, Magalang,
Mawaque, Pandacaqui and SM Pampanga via Pandan;

3. Nepo Mart Terminal caters to the West Bound Sector such as Angeles to Manibaug, Porac,
Salu-Balubad;

4. Essel Park Common Terminal which caters to the South Bound Sector such as Angeles to
Bulaun, San Fernando and Friendship-Telabastagan.

A bus terminal is located at Marquee Mall which is 0.40 km. from city hall. This serves only as drop-
off point of provincial buses going to and coming from North Luzon.

6.1.3. Rail Network

A fast and reliable transport system, a railway is an alternative mode to the mainly road based
transportation system in the country.

Since 1989, the Philippine National Railway (PNR) has been trying to revive the mainline north which
will serve the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, La Union and Ilocos.

The North Rail project is meant to decongest Metro Manila by providing a fast, efficient and reliable
mass transport system for people and goods between Metro Manila and Central and North Luzon.

The project has two options. The first involves the reconstruction of the existing 32.2 kilometer
single track line into a double track using the PNR line connecting Fort Santiago and
Clark.Anotheroption is ahigh-speed rail, using the old PNR alignment or the North Luzon Expressway
(NLEx) alignment to connect Manila to Clark.

The Philippine government is pushing through with the development of the North Rail Project in
time with the plans of making Clark Airport as the country’s major gateway.

6.1.4. Airport

Clark International Airport (CIA) is the main airport serving the immediate vicinity of Clark Freeport
Zone (CFZ). This is being managed by the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), a
government owned and controlled corporation and is currently being developed to be the country’s
major gateway.
As of the end of December 2013, CIA is averaging at least two hundred sixteen (216) flights per
weekto both international and domestic destinations. This caters various air carriers, among them
are Air Asia of Malaysia flying Clark to Hongkong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Taipei-Taoyuan, Davao,
Kalibo and Palawan; Asiana Airlines of Korea flying Clark to Busan, Seoul-Incheon in South Korea;
Dragon Air of Hongkong flying Clark to Hongkong; Jin Air of South Korea flying Clark to Seoul-
Incheon in South Korea; Qatar Airways flying Clark to Doha; Qatar Emirates flying to Dubai and local
carriers like Cebu Pacific Air flying Clark to HongKong, Thailand, Macau, Singapore and Cebu; Air
Philippines flying Clark to Hongkong, Cebu, Kalibo and Davao and Tiger Air Philippines also flies Clark
to Davao, Kalibo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok.

Aside from the passenger airlines, CIA also caters to cargo airlines like FedEx, Pacific Asia Cargo
Airlines, Tri-Mg Intra Asia Airlines, UPS Airlines and Yangtze River Express. The terminal
development plan of CIA includes the following:

Terminal 1 is designed to accommodate at least one to two million passengers annually. The
expansion added a second storey, arrival and departure lounges and two aero bridges to the
terminal building. The expansion will boost CIA’s capacity to five million from two million
passengers.

Terminal 2, once completed, will be dedicated to International traffic. It will include the expansion of
the eastern runway to 4,000 meters and the construction of a new runway, a new cargo terminal
complex and a new control tower.

Area Ecological Profile 2015 Page 153

 Chapter 6: Infrastructure Development

A budget terminal will be designed by Aeroports de Paris and it would have a capacity of fifteen (15)
million passengers a year.

Terminal 3 includes 3 parallel runways, a high speed train. Once completed, it can accommodate 80
million passengers annually and facilities that can accommodate the A380, thus becoming one of
the largest and most technologically advanced airports in the world.

6.2. Utilities

Utilities include water supply, power and telecommunication systems which are essential for the
continued improvement in the quality of life and growth of the city.

6.2.1. Water Supply
