Skyway 3 Maria Clara Exit Now Open to Motorists

San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has announced the opening of the new Maria Clara northbound exit at Skyway Stage 3 in Quezon City. The exit became operational at 6 a.m. on Saturday, December 28, and is expected to ease congestion at the Quezon Avenue northbound exit, a critical route for motorists in the area.

Convenience for the Holiday Rush

SMC chairman and CEO Ramon Ang stated that the opening is timed to accommodate the increased travel during the New Year long weekend.

“This exit has been long-awaited by our motorists in Quezon City, who now have a convenient alternative,” Ang said.

Toll and Accessibility

The Maria Clara exit will not incur any additional toll fees and will share the same rate as the Quezon Avenue northbound exit.

Regulatory Compliance

The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) issued an interim permit to operate the Maria Clara exit on December 27, recognizing its potential to provide relief for traffic congestion.

“Our team is working double-time to comply with the remaining requirements, while patrollers and road safety personnel are deployed to guide motorists,” Ang added.

Skyway Stage 3 Connectivity

Skyway Stage 3 connects Makati City’s Gil Puyat Avenue to Balintawak in Quezon City, offering a seamless link to the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). The addition of the Maria Clara exit is expected to enhance traffic flow and improve overall motorist experience.
