For the first half of 2015, Skyway O&M Corp. (SOMCO) has embarked on a number of improvement projects on the elevated and at-grade sections of the 30-km. Skyway System to ensure that the Skyway traveling experience is maintained at the highest possible standards of safety, speed and convenience.

Among the improvement projects now in progress are the repair of the toll plazas in Sucat and Bicutan which involves sub-base pavement repair and concreting and the modification of chariot guards at toll plazas as shown in photo above. The installation of a 1.2-km. median fence and the widening of the U-turn slot along Dr. A. Santos Avenue from the Sucat Interchange up to SM BF Paranaque, which started last month, are expected to be finished by March 2015. One very important repair work that should also be completed by the end of next month is the Php 32.8-million rehabilitation of the right-of-way (ROW) fence along the Bicutan-Magallanes at-grade section of the Skyway System to replace the 15-year old ROW structure that has started to tilt and weaken due to the strong vibration caused by passing PNR trains daily.
