The South Luzon Expressway (SLEX),{{Efn|The South Luzon Expressway is also known by its alternative and former names: the South Superhighway (SSH), the South Luzon Tollway (SLT), the Manila South Diversion Road (MSDR), and the Manila South Expressway (MSEX).}} signed as E2 of the Philippine expressway network and R-3 of the Metro Manila arterial road network, is a controlled-access highway that connects Metro Manila to the provinces in the Calabarzon, Mimaropa and Bicol Region on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The expressway has a length of {{Convert|49.56|km|mi|abbr=in}}, traveling from its northern terminus at the Magallanes Interchange in Makati to its southern terminus at Santo Tomas, Batangas, connecting it to the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR Tollway). A portion of the expressway from the Magallanes Interchange to the Calamba Exit is part of Asian Highway 26 of the Asian highway network. It will be the longest expressway in the Philippines starting with the completion of Toll Road 4 surpassing the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) as well as providing a gateway to Visayas upon the completion of Toll Road 5.
The expressway also serves as a major utility corridor, carrying various high voltage overhead power lines and an oil pipeline. Notable power lines using the expressway's right of way for most or part of their route are the Sucat–Paco–Araneta–Balintawak transmission line, and the Biñan–Calamba and Calamba–Bay lines. The Magallanes–Alabang section of the expressway was also used to carry the Batangas–Pandacan oil pipeline.
The expressway was built in 1969 to develop areas adjacent to Metro Manila, particularly the south. The original route spanning from Magallanes, Makati, to Alabang, Muntinlupa, was extended to Laguna in 1978.{{Cite book |title=SEC-Business Day's 1000 Top Corporations in the Philippines |date=1980 |publisher=Businessday Corporation in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Commission}} In 1995, the Magallanes–Alabang section became part of the Skyway System's at-grade section. Rehabilitation efforts on the expressway followed, lasting from 2006 to 2009. Operations were transferred from Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) to the South Luzon Tollways Corporation (SLTC) and Manila Toll Expressway Systems (MATES) on May 2, 2010. Additionally, it is connected to the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road in Batangas, through the Toll Road 3 project (Calamba–Santo Tomas) that was constructed from 2007 to 2010, inaugurated on June 15, 2010, and opened to the traffic six months after its inauguration on December 15, 2010.

The South Luzon Expressway cuts southwards from Metro Manila up to the provinces in Calabarzon. The expressway consists of two sections: the {{convert|13.43|km|sp=us|adj=on}} Skyway At-Grade segment, which runs underneath the Skyway from Magallanes Interchange in Makati to Alabang Exit in Muntinlupa,{{cite web|title=SMC Tollways|url=https://smctollways.com/|access-date=June 2, 2021}} and the {{convert|36.13|km|sp=us|adj=on}} South Luzon Tollway (SLT) segment, also called the Alabang–Calamba–Santo Tomas Expressway (ACTEX), from Alabang to Santo Tomas, Batangas. Skyway At-Grade operations are held jointly by the Skyway Operations and Maintenance Corporation (SOMCO) and SMC Skyway Corporation (formerly Citra Metro Manila Tollways Corporation),{{cite web|title=SMMSP

- SLEX Toll Road 3 (TR3): Calamba Exit to Santo Tomas Exit
The South Luzon Expressway starts as the physical extension of Osmeña Highway past the Magallanes Interchange, where it also meets Circumferential Road 4, particularly EDSA. The expressway runs through {{convert|49.56|km|mi|abbr=in}}, spanning the cities of Makati, Pasay, Taguig, Parañaque, and Muntinlupa in Metro Manila and the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas. From its northern terminus at Magallanes Interchange, the expressway follows a straight path southeast in parallel to the PNR South Main Line until the Bicutan Exit, where it slightly bends to the south towards the Alabang Exit. Two service roads run on either side of the expressway from Sales Interchange to Alabang Exit, namely: West Service Road and East Service Road. Bicycle lanes are also present on the outermost lane of the toll-free northern section of the expressway, between the Magallanes and Sales Interchanges.
At the Alabang Exit, SLEX ascends to the Alabang Viaduct, a {{convert|1.242|km|adj=on|sp=us}}, eight-lane viaduct over the Manila South Road through Alabang, Muntinlupa. After its descent at Filinvest Exit, SLEX mostly parallels the Manila South Road in Muntinlupa and northwestern Laguna, passing through the Susana Heights Exit connecting it to the Muntinlupa–Cavite Expressway.{{Google maps|url=https://www.google.com.ph/maps/@14.3201674,121.05064,11z?hl=en|title=South Luzon Expressway and Maharlika Highway/Manila South Road|access-date=December 28, 2015}} It continues as a straight roadway lined with billboards and passing through residential and industrial areas. Past the San Pedro Exit, the expressway then curves and ascends past the Petron and Caltex service areas. Past Santa Rosa Exit, SLEX narrows with guard rails as the median divider. At the Calamba Exit, the Pan-Philippine Highway concurrency ends as it leaves the expressway towards the west as Maharlika Highway. Past such exit, the expressway further narrows without exits and with bridges built with wide shoulders to accommodate future widening. It follows a curved route paralleling the Pan-Philippine Highway (Maharlika Highway) from Calamba to Santo Tomas, Batangas. It then meets its future interchange with SLEX Toll Road 4 (TR4), which will extend it up to Lucena and eventually to Matnog, Sorsogon, via SLEX Toll Road 5 (TR5). It then curves as it enters Santo Tomas before it ends at kilometer 57.5, continuing towards Batangas City as the STAR Tollway.

This facility features four lanes and traverses multiple municipalities in Cavite and Laguna before reaching Calamba. It includes four interchanges, two viaducts, eleven twin bridges, nineteen overpasses, and six underpasses, with a total bridge superstructure length of {{convert|3,600|m|sp=us}}. The widths of the bridges range from two to six lanes. Notably, the Alabang Viaduct stands out as the most remarkable structure, boasting six traffic lanes along its entire length of {{convert|840|m|sp=us}}, making it the longest six-lane viaduct in the country.
In 1982, South Superhighway from Magallanes to Calamba was renamed to Dr. Jose P. Rizal Highway, after the Philippine national hero Dr. José Rizal, who hailed from Laguna. This renaming was brought about by Batas Pambansa Blg. 264.{{cite PH act|chamber=BP|number=264|title=An Act Changing the Name of the South Super Highway, Extending from the Municipality of Makati, Metropolitan Manila, Up to the Municipality of Calamba, Province of Laguna, to Dr. Jose P.

In 1995, the rehabilitation of the {{convert|13.43|km|adj=on|sp=us}} portion of SLEX from Magallanes to Alabang began as part of South Metro Manila Skyway Project Stage 1 that also includes the construction of the elevated Skyway above it up to Bicutan area.{{cite web|url=https://www.pncc.ph/home_our_company.htm|title=Corporate Profile|publisher=Philippine National Construction Corporation|access-date=May 5, 2021}}{{cite PH act|chamber=GR|number=166910, 169917, 173630, 183599| url=https://lawphil.net/judjuris/juri2010/oct2010/gr_166910_2010.html| title=Ernesto B.

On February 1, 2006, a new agreement was signed between Malaysia-based MTD Berhad and PNCC to rehabilitate, extend, and operate the expressway. Rehabilitation work started in May of that year, with heavy traffic brought by construction work. Prior to its rehabilitation, the South Luzon Expressway section from Alabang to Calamba was mostly an expressway with a grass median and two lanes per direction. The widening of the Alabang Viaduct from three to four lanes per direction, a phase known as the SLEX Toll Road 1, was completed on November 11, 2008. During the construction of Skyway Stage 2 from 2009 to 2011, there were traffic disruptions on the Bicutan–Alabang section. The use of the sosrobahu method to build and position the bridge piers helped mitigate these disruptions. Rehabilitation work on SLEX Toll Road 2 was finished in June 2009, resulting in the expansion of the Alabang–Santa Rosa section to eight lanes (four lanes per direction), similar to an American Interstate Highway, and the Santa Rosa–Calamba section to six lanes (three lanes per direction).{{cite news |title=Construction of Skyway extension to begin |url=https://www.philstar.com/metro/2009/04/03/454360/construction-skyway-extension-begin |access-date=March 13, 2021 |work=The Philippine Star |date=April 3, 2009}}
One year and six months after the Alabang Viaduct was rehabilitated and widened and eleven months after the completion of rehabilitation and modernization of the expressway's Alabang–Calamba section, the operation and maintenance of the expressway was transferred from the government-owned Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) to South Luzon Tollways Corporation (SLTC) and Manila Toll Expressway Systems (MATES) on May 2, 2010.

MTD relinquished its stake in operating and maintaining SLEX to San Miguel Corporation (SMC) in January 2012. To decongest traffic, the SLEX Elevated Extension, originally known as Skyway Extension project, was constructed along the shoulder of the expressway in Muntinlupa from 2019 to 2021 and has connected the expressway's segment south of the Alabang Viaduct to Skyway Stage 2.{{cite news|url=https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2019/08/06/skyway-extension-commences/|title=Skyway Extension commences|publisher=Tribune.net|date=August 6, 2019|access-date=June 6, 2022|archive-date=September 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190906000317/https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2019/08/06/skyway-extension-commences/|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/821982/duterte-inaugurates-san-miguel-s-p14-billion-slex-elevated-extension-project/story/|title=Duterte inaugurates San Miguel's P14-billion SLEX Elevated Extension project|first=Ted|last=Cordero|work=GMA News|date=February 15, 2022|access-date=February 15, 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://rtvm.gov.ph/inauguration-of-the-slex-elevated-extension-project-2/|title=Inauguration of the SLEX Elevated Extension Project|date=February 15, 2022|location=Alabang, Muntinlupa City|website=RTVM|access-date=February 15, 2022}}
In December 2022, the implementation of the Seamless Southern Tollways project began on SLEX to simplify the toll collection process to a single payment upon exit. Additional toll plazas were built at interchanges from Canlubang to Santo Tomas, while the Calamba and Ayala Greenfield Estates toll plazas were eventually demolished in 2024. In 2023, an expansion project began to widen the expressway's segment south of the SLEX Elevated Extension ramps to six (2x6) lanes per direction, necessitating the felling of 8,766 trees along the route.{{cite news|url=https://www.topgear.com.ph/news/thousands-of-trees-are-being-cut-down-for-slex-road-widening-a5255-20230601|title=Over 8,000 trees are being cut down in bid to expand SLEX|first=Thea|last=Alberto-Masakayan|date=June 1, 2023|access-date=May 8, 2024|website=Top Gear Philippines}}{{cite news|url=https://www.topgear.com.ph/news/motoring-news/smc-slex-tree-cutting-safety-concerns-a5255-20230607|title=SMC cites ‘safety concerns’ in tree-clearing operations on SLEX|first=Thea|last=Alberto-Masakayan|date=June 7, 2023|access-date=May 8, 2024|website=Top Gear Philippines}} The project also involves the expansion of 20 bridges along SLEX,{{cite news|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/money/companies/916641/slex-upgrades-on-track-for-completion-in-q4-2024/story/|title=SLEX upgrades on track for completion in Q4 2024|first=Ted|last=Cordero|date=August 10, 2024|access-date=August 10, 2024|work=GMA Integrated News}} with completion targeted for mid-2025.{{cite news|url=https://www.sanmiguel.com.ph/news/slex-expansion-70-complete-to-enhance-motorist-experience-by-december|date=April 25, 2024|access-date=May 5, 2024|website=San Miguel Corporation|title=SLEX expansion 70% Complete, to enhance motorist experience by December}}{{cite news|url=https://www.sanmiguel.com.ph/corporate/news/rsa-new-slex-6x6-lanes-operational-in-december-full-expansion-complete-by-mid-2025|title=RSA: New SLEX 6x6 lanes operational in December; full expansion complete by mid-2025|date=November 26, 2024|accessdate=March 24, 2025|website=San Miguel Corporation}} It is expected to be complete by June 2025.{{cite news|url=https://www.spot.ph/newsfeatures/mobility/110570/new-slex-lanes-expected-to-open-by-mid-december-a5229-20241127?s=tjcsdo5dk4ep69qtnqh71fqgtc|title=SLEX Adds New Two Lanes Between Susana Heights and Calamba|first=Micah Avry|last=Guiao|date=November 27, 2024|access-date=November 27, 2024|website=Spot.ph}} In addition, the Ayala Greenfield Interchange in Calamba broke ground on October 14, 2024.

Construction is divided into five segments, with one additional extension to Mayao in Lucena on the revised project outline.{{cite web|url=https://trb.gov.ph/index.php/toll-road-projects/south-luzon-expressway|title=SLEX|website=Toll Regulatory Board|access-date=August 22, 2021}}{{cite news|url=https://business.inquirer.net/267397/smc-starts-slex-extension-to-lucena|title=SMC starts SLEx extension to Lucena|first=Miguel R.|last=Camus|date=March 26, 2019|newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer|access-date=June 14, 2020}} The extension project is implemented by the Toll Regulatory Board and will be operated by the SMC SLEX, Inc. (formerly South Luzon Tollway Corporation). The extension would decongest the existing national road between Santo Tomas and Lucena, and provide a modern alternate route for travellers from Quezon to the Bicol Region. Right-of-way acquisition is ongoing as of 2019, and the groundbreaking ceremony was held on March 26, 2019, alongside the beginning of construction.{{cite web|title=SOUTH LUZON EXPRESSWAY (SLEX) TOLL ROAD 4 (TR4)|url=http://www.dpwh.gov.ph/dpwh/PPP/projs/TR4|publisher=Department of Public Works and Highways|access-date=May 13, 2017}} Right of way has been secured for the initial three segments from Calamba to Tiaong, with ongoing efforts to acquire land for the remaining stretch up to Lucena. The expressway's starting point has been relocated near the Ayala Greenfield Golf Course after several alignment adjustments prompted by right-of-way challenges. This section is designed initially with two lanes per direction, with potential for future expansion to 3–4 lanes.{{cite news |last1= |first1= |title=South Luzon Expressway Toll Road 4|url=https://www.dpwh.gov.ph/dpwh/PPP/projs/tr4 |access-date=April 3, 2024 |publisher=Department of Public Works and Highways |date=April 12, 2024}}

The South Luzon Expressway Toll Road 5, also referred to as Toll Road 5 (TR5), will be the extension of South Luzon Expressway from Mayao, Lucena to the vicinity of Port of Matnog in Matnog, Sorsogon.

It aims to decongest Andaya Highway and Pan-Philippine Highway, cut travel time from Manila to Naga by two to three hours, and to Matnog by six hours. When completed, it will become the longest expressway in the Philippines.
On June 29, 2020, the Toll Regulatory Board issued a resolution to declare this project a Toll Road upon the request of, and based on the proposal submitted by the joint venture (JV) of the Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) and San Miguel Holdings Corporation (SMHC).{{cite web|url=https://dotr.gov.ph/55-dotrnews/2037-trb-declares-south-luzon-expressway-slex-toll-road-5-and-pasig-river-expressway-projects-as-toll-road-projects.html/|title=TRB Declares South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) Toll Road 5 And Pasig River Expressway Projects As Toll Road Projects|work=DOTr|date=August 5, 2020|access-date=August 21, 2020|archive-date=June 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210618091955/https://dotr.gov.ph/55-dotrnews/2037-trb-declares-south-luzon-expressway-slex-toll-road-5-and-pasig-river-expressway-projects-as-toll-road-projects.html/|url-status=dead}} On August 25, 2020, San Miguel Corporation thru South Luzon Toll Road 5 Expressway Inc. announced they will invest this project alongside the Pasig River Expressway with a cost of {{Philippine peso|122 billion}} in order to boost the economy in Luzon.{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/money/companies/752828/san-miguel-investing-p122b-for-slex-toll-road-5-pasig-river-expressway-projects/story/|title=San Miguel investing P122B for SLEX Toll Road 5, Pasig River Expressway projects|work=GMA News|date=August 25, 2020|access-date=August 28, 2020}}
The original plans for the expressway's extension are the Quezon-Bicol Expressway (QBEX or QUBEX), which was supposed to be an extension of the SLEX from Pagbilao to San Fernando, Camarines Sur. The 2017 proposal would have been a public-private partnership (PPP), with a total length of {{convert|180|km|sp=us}}, and the 2019 proposal, which would have been {{convert|220|km|sp=us}}, was supposed to be funded through the General Appropriations Act (GAA),{{Cite web |last=Nicolas |first=Jino |date=2018-08-19 |title=Quezon-Bicol road segments to tap non-PPP financing |url=https://www.bworldonline.com/editors-picks/2018/08/19/181490/quezon-bicol-road-segments-to-tap-non-ppp-financing/ |access-date=2024-05-27 |website=BusinessWorld Online |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Amojelar |first=Darwin G. |date=2020-07-19 |title=DPWH to build separate Quezon-Bicol expressway |url=https://manilastandard.net/?p=329065 |access-date=2024-05-27 |website=Manila Standard |language=en-US}} but the proposal was removed from the priority projects list in 2022, and the PNR South Long Haul (SLH), which was originally intended to be funded by China and restore an old railway line from Calamba to Daraga over a distance of {{convert|380|km|sp=us}}, was withdrawn in 2023 and then abruptly abandoned in 2025 owing to a lack of money.{{Cite news |last=Gines |first=Ben Jr. |date=January 18, 2022 |title=DOTr signs P142-B contract for Bicol rail project |url=https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/01/18/news/dotr-signs-p142-b-contract-for-bicol-rail-project/1829768 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220118144859/https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/01/18/news/dotr-signs-p142-b-contract-for-bicol-rail-project/1829768 |archive-date=January 18, 2022 |access-date=January 18, 2022 |work=The Manila Times}}{{Cite news |last=Simeon |first=Louise Maureen |date=November 7, 2023 |title=Philippines drops China loans for 2 projects |url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2023/11/07/2309411/philippines-drops-china-loans-2-projects |access-date=November 11, 2023 |work=The Philippine Star}}{{Cite AV media |url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rJfBwry3GHY |title=DOTr, aminadong malaking hamon sa kanila ang testing and commissioning ng MRT-7 |date=2025-01-03 |last=News5Everywhere |language=tagalog |trans-title=DOTr acknowledges that testing and commissioning of the MRT-7 is a major challenge for them |access-date=2025-01-04 |via=YouTube}}

Previously employing closed and barrier toll systems, the South Luzon Expressway fully employs a closed road system, wherein the toll fee is charged based on vehicle class and the distance travelled from the entry to exit point. The expressway's toll system is integrated with the South Metro Manila Skyway Project and Muntinlupa–Cavite Expressway (MCX).{{cite web|url=https://trb.gov.ph/toll-rates/slex-toll-rate.html|title=Skyway-SLEX-MCX|website=Toll Regulatory Board|access-date=March 23, 2021|archive-date=March 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210307125537/http://www.trb.gov.ph/toll-rates/slex-toll-rate.html|url-status=dead}}
Toll collection is done upon exit at either SLEX, STAR Tollway, or MCX, or at Skyway Main toll plaza in Muntinlupa, as part of San Miguel Corporation's Seamless Southern Tollways program.{{cite news|url=https://www.topgear.com.ph/news/motoring-news/smc-seamless-tollways-project-a4354-20221202|title=SMC's Seamless Southern Tollways project seeks to reduce stops for motorists|website=TopGear Philippines|date=December 1, 2022|access-date=December 2, 2022|first=Leandre|last=Grecia}} Access between the exits on the Canlubang–Calamba segment and on the northernmost segment between Magallanes and Sales interchanges remain toll-free.
The expressway fully implements an electronic toll collection (ETC) system, the Autosweep RFID, using RFID technology,{{cite news|url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1126474|title=SMC tollways to go 100% cashless by Jan. 11|date=January 5, 2021|work=Philippine News Agency|access-date=January 12, 2021}} and the system formerly used "E-Pass", which uses transponder technology. The ETC system is shared by the Skyway, STAR Tollway, NAIAX, MCX and TPLEX. Cash payments are still accepted although ETC is currently being maximized.
The toll rates by vehicle class are as follows:
