Coastal service road in Las Piñas to ease traffic in southern NCR

Sen. Cynthia Villar led the inauguration of the completed construction of the C5 Road South Extension project spanning the Las Piñas City and Parañaque City segment. 

Villar, who hails from Las Piñas, expressed confidence the project would help ease traffic for commuters plying the Coastal Road-South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) route.

The road construction project, which started in 2006, has been delayed due to Right of Way problems faced by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with private residents and business establishments that were affected by the expansion.

The 15-kilometer project covers the construction of the C5 service road, including 10 bridges and a flyover. It spans the cities of Las Piñas, Pasay and Parañaque, and affected the streets in MIAA, Kenko, Radar Area, RSG, Areas 5, 6 and 7, Kaingin Road, SM Warehouse AMVEL, SM Sucat and properties in the Las Piñas area.

The C5 Road is a network of roads and bridges that serves as a beltway around the city of Manila. It serves as an alternate route for travelers headed to the southern side of the National Capital Region (NCR).
