[talk-ph] Section 1 of TPLEx is set to open Oct 30

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

TPLEx is the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway and it continues the
northward route of the SCTEx (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway).

Section 1 is from Tarlac City, Tarlac to Rosales Pangasinan.

TPLEx starts here: http://osm.org/go/4zaiBORM--?m
Section 1 seems to end here: http://osm.org/go/4zbhcXtB--?m

While the Bing satellite imagery shows evidence of the TPLEx route due to
the tell-tale signs of construction, we would definitely appreciate actual
GPS traces. Bonus points if you can get traces of the on- and off-ramps for
each of the expressway's exits. :-) (Ervin, go!)

But I think in the meantime, we can switch the construction tags in OSM
come October 30. :-)
