The document summarizes the history and design of the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX). It began construction in the 1970s as a 6.6 km, 4-lane road to alleviate traffic congestion between Parañaque, Las Piñas, and Cavite. It has since been extended to 14 km with exits to Bacoor City and Kawit, reducing travel time between Manila and Cavite. Key features include its 14 km length, 3 highway exits, 4-6 lanes, and 2 toll plazas. The Pacific Avenue Flyover was also constructed in 2018 to eliminate traffic caused by the intersection there.
