The Pasig River Expressway (PAREX) is a proposed elevated expressway in Metro Manila, Philippines that plans to skirt the banks of the Pasig River and connect the cities of Manila, Mandaluyong, Makati, Pasig, Taguig and the municipality of Taytay. The expressway is proposed to alleviate east-west traffic congestion in Metro Manila. It is visioned to be a joint venture between the Philippine National Construction Corporation and the San Miguel Corporation.[6] The project broke ground on September 24, 2021, while construction of the expressway was yet to start pending the approval of its Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).[7] The project was deemed cancelled in 2024 due to public uproar against the project.[2][3] However, Ramon Ang announced renewed interest with the project, though citing the need to adjust it towards public sentiments.[8]
