Project Description

Davao City Expressway Project, a 29.2 kilometer elevated expressway with 30 meter Right-of-Way (ROW) connecting the Asian Highway 26 (AH26), Davao City Coastal Road and the main roads in Davao City. The project alignment has a T-shaped arrangement and is divided into three phases. [2]

The Project is divided into three phases, with a "T"-shaped distribution. Phase 1 from Coastal Highway to Ma-a is an elevated viaduct along the whole alignment, including 2 recommended diamond interchanges and 5 bridges crossing Davao River, with large bridge span and complex construction process. Phase 2 from Panacan to Ma-a is also an elevated viaduct along the whole alignment, including hub interchanges and 2 recommended diamond interchanges. In Phase 3 from Ma-a to Dumoy, it is planned to set up a 260m-long tunnel, including 1 hub interchange, 1 deformable cloverleaf interchange and 1 simple diamond interchange. [3]

Phases of Development and Cost

The project has an approximate cost of Php69 billion. [4]
