P1.28-billion Laguna Lake Highway // Toll Free Express Way in Metro Manila

At least a month ahead of schedule and just in time for the holiday rush, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has opened the newly completed Laguna Lake Highway, formerly known as the C-6 Dike Road.

The four-lane highway connects towns of Rizal province to the eastern part of Metro Manila. In the past two years, sections of it had been opened as they were finished; now completed, it spans a total of 10.7km.

Apart from being the first national highway to be toll-free, it is also the first to have a dedicated three-meter-wide bicycle lane, in addition to functioning as an elevated dike against flooding. Other features include a 1.5-meter-wide sidewalk.

The Laguna Lake Highway project kicked off in 2016 and had a total budget of P1.28 billion, which also covered the rehabilitation of three bridges—Napindan, Tapayan, and Barkadahan—along the route.
