Sothat is 1.5 billion Euro, or some 70 billion pesos. The partial 160 million US$ bond can finance... some 10 kms. Where is the rest of money coming from?

Also, the PPP system of building highways (Private Public Partnership) has not been very efficient, profitable, or popular in Europe and is somewhat discouraged by economists.
yea, I bet you a big amount of that money goes into environ studies and litigations brought by NYMBYs, environmental groups, and other special interests.
