The Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEx) is an 88.85-kilometre (55.21 mi) four-lane expressway currently under construction north of Manila, in the Philippines. It connects central to northern Luzon, with its southernmost terminal located in Tarlac City, Tarlac and its planned northernmost terminus currently slated to be at Rosario, La Union.
The first section of the project, from Tarlac City to Pura, Tarlac, has been operating on a "soft opening" basis since October 31, 2013, and was ready for full operation in November 2013.
Part of the second segment, which will take motorists up to Ramos, Tarlac opened on December 23, 2013. The remaining section from Anao, Tarlac up to Rosales, Pangasinan is projected for a mid-2014 opening, and the final section ending in Rosario, La Union, is slated for completion in April 2018.
Proposals have also been raised for extending the project all the way to Laoag in Ilocos Norte.
The TPLEX is an extension of North Luzon Expressway and Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway from Tarlac to Rosario, La Union.
