- Class I vehicles over seven feet - P180
- Class II vehicles (light trucks, tourist/school and public utility buses) - P180
- Class III vehicles (heavy and multi-axle trucks and trailers) - P270
The toll rates were posted on the CCLEX's website on Friday. The CCLEX also has a separate lane which bikers and pedestrians can use, free of charge.
The CCLEX is built by Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary by the Manuel Pangilinan-chaired Metro Pacific Tollways Corp., in partnership with the Cordova municipality and Cebu City.
The P33-billion project, which measures almost nine kilometers, is considered as one of the country's largest infrastructure projects.
CCLEX is expected to enhance mobility, spur economic growth and boost investments across the Visayas region.
Earlier this week, President Rodrigo Duterte attended the bridge's inauguration, around five years since the project broke ground in 2017. — Angelica Y. Yang
