R-1 Extension tracking mission is a success! http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/seav/traces/993114
Unfortunately, my hope of no traffic did not materialize since there were a lot of Good Friday processions on the roads. At one point, we had to turn back near Bacoor Church and take a detour. :p Status: The southbound side is passable and going to Island Cove is now a breeze. The northbound side is done but still not passable--maybe in May. The Kawit Toll Plaza is done and will start collecting (hefty) fees starting May 3 (?). There is still some construction ongoing to connect the Toll Plaza to Tirona Highway and to complete the Zapote Interchange. The exit to Covelandia Road seems temporary.
