Metro Manila Roads

Metro Manila has a very extensive roadway system connecting the cities and municipalities of the metropolis and its surrounding provinces. The major roadways are the ten radial roads, braching from the capital city of Manila, and the five circumferential roads, which form semicircles around the city of Manila. It should be known that the Radial and Circumferential roads are not 'existing roads', per segment, but are labels that connect existing roads, so that they serve as guides. Some of the roads in Metro Manila are not yet paid to the government.

Circumferential Roads

The five circumferential roads are arranged in concentric semicircles in and around Metro Manila, so as to get traffic from the northern part to the southern part as easily as possible. There is also a new circumferential road, the C-6, which is under construction.[citation needed] The routes are described from north to south (clockwise).

Road Image # Street Remarks
1 Claro M. Recto Ave.
P. Casal St.
Ayala Blvd.
and P. Burgos St.
It starts from the Divisoria shopping district of Manila, passes through the Binondo and Quiapo districts, then turns sharply to the right to P. Casal Street, just after passing the University of the East. P. Casal Street goes through the San Miguel District and then crosses the Pasig River at Ayala Bridge. It then becomes Ayala Boulevard, passing by the Philippine Normal College and the Technological University of the Philippines. C-1 then merges onto P. Burgos where it connects back to Roxas Boulevard (R-1). C-1 is the main thoroughfare of the Binondo and Quiapo districts of Manila.
2 Tayuman Rd.
A.H. Lacson Ave.
Nagtahan Blvd.
and Pres. E. Quirino Ave.
begins at R-10 in Tondo district, becomes Tayuman Road in Sampaloc district, then continues on as Arsenio H. Lacson Avenue (formerly called Governor Forbes) as it skirts the old San Lazaro Hippodrome. It crosses R-6 (Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard) then becomes Nagtahan Boulevard. Nagtahan Boulevard crosses the Nagtahan Bridge, the largest bridge of Pasig River, then becomes President Elpidio Quirino Avenue, which continues on until it reaches R-1 (Roxas Boulevard), passing through the Paco and Malate districts.
3 Sgt. E. Rivera St.
G. Araneta Ave.
and Sen. G.J. Puyat Ave.
is a route that runs just outside the city limits of Manila. It runs eastward from R-10 in Navotas, passes through Caloocan City, and then as Sergeant Emilio Rivera Street after entering Quezon City. C-3 then turns southward along Gregorio Araneta Avenue in Quezon City. Gregorio Araneta Avenue (and C-3) ends just after entering San Juan. The C-3 routing is resumed at the intersection of Ayala Avenue and Senator Gil Puyat Avenue in Makati, going westward along Senator Gil Puyat Avenue until it ends at R-1 in Pasay City. The C-3 missing link from Makati through Mandaluyong to San Juan is currently planned as an elevated expressway.[citation needed]
4 Letre Rd.
Samson Rd.
and EDSA
EDSA is one of the widest roads (10-lanes) in the Philippines. EDSA utilizes a combination of grade-separated intersections, full interchangess and U-turn slots along most of of its length. C-4 officially begins at R-10 in Navotas, passes through Malabon as Letre Road, and enters Caloocan City as Samson Road before becoming EDSA after crossing Rizal Avenue (R-9) at Monumento. C-4 officially ends at R-1 in Pasay City but EDSA Extension, the southern part of EDSA, extends to the Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, and ends at the rotonda of the SM Mall of Asia. The MRT-3 rail line follows the route of C-4. EDSA passes through Caloocan City, Quezon City, Mandaluyong, Makati, and Pasay City.

5 Pres. C.P. Garcia Ave.
E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave.
Col. B. Serrano Rd.
Katipunan Ave.
Tandang Sora Ave.
and Gen. T. de Leon St.
Also utilizes grade separation for many of its intersections. Currently, it officially starts at the intersection of C.P. Garcia Avenue and Katipunan Avenue within the University of the Philippines, Diliman campus in Quezon City. Katipunan Avenue continues north as a two-lane minor arterial road which eventually intersects Commonwealth Avenue (R-7). C-5/Katipunan Avenue runs southward and passes in front of the Ateneo de Manila University and Miriam College. After crossing Aurora Boulevard (R-6) (via a flyover), the routing is shifted onto Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue at Santolan Road. C-5/Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue continues southward into Pasig City. Just south of Pasig Boulevard (R-5) and just north of the Pasig River, C-5 is called Carlos P. Garcia Avenue and it passes through a small portion of Makati, then through Taguig. In Taguig, it passes by the Fort Bonifacio Global City, then turns westward and formally ends at its junction with R-3/South Luzon Expressway at the boundary between Taguig City and Pasay City. Extensions of C-5 to the north and south are being planned.[citation needed] In the north, C-5 will be extended along the Luzon Avenue (northward) and Republic Avenue (westward) alignments until it reaches the North Luzon Expressway and McArthur Highway (R-9), passing through northern Quezon City and Valenzuela City. A further expansion to R-10 in Navotas is also being planned up to Mariano Naval Avenue (now still Mariano Naval Street). In the south, C-5 will also be extended to R-1/Manila-Cavite Expressway, passing just south of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. It is the main artery of the Bonifacio Global City developments and the NAIA Terminal 3.
6 Bulacan-Rizal-Manila-Cavite Regional Expressway Is a superhighway that is now under construction. It will act as a beltway of Metro Manila, so that buses and other transportation vehicles coming from the southern provinces to the northern provinces (and vice versa) need not pass through Metro Manila, thus lessening traffic in the metropolis. This will be named as Padre Jacinto Zamora Avenue. When built, C-6 will follow the proposed Metro Manila Tollway route eastward starting from its terminus at the North Luzon Expressway in Marilao in Bulacan province (expressway segment). C-6 will then pass through San Jose Del Monte City in Bulacan, turn southward and pass through Montalban, San Mateo, Antipolo City, Angono, and Taytay in Rizal province, finally entering Taguig. The Metro Manila Tollway will continue southwest to the South Luzon Expressway ending at the Bicutan interchange. C-6 will continue southward along the proposed Laguna de Bay Coastal Road running along the coast of the Laguna de Bay into Muntinlupa.
