The Davao City Expressway is a proposed Philippine expressway in Davao City. It was proposed by then-Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte to mitigate the congestion on the section of the Pan-Philippine Highway located in Davao City.[1]
Project description
The Davao City Expressway is one of the flagship infrastructure projects proposed under the Build Build Build Program of the Duterte administration. The proposed project is a two-way, four-lane urban 29.21-kilometer expressway which aims to link Davao City’s main areas with the Port of Davao and Francisco Bangoy International Airport. It is divided into three phases, with a T-shaped interchange in Ma-a that would connect south to the Davao Coastal Road, east to Panacan, and west to Toril. Phase 1 of the project will consist of an 8.479 km elevated viaduct structure, covering Davao Coastal Road via Sta. Ana Port Interchange to the Carlos P. Garcia Interchange in Ma-a. Phase 2 consists of an 8.510 km elevated viaduct structure from Ma-a Interchange to Panacan. Phase 3 will be a 12.821 km at-grade structure, including a 0.27 km expressway tunnel, from Ma-a Interchange to Dumoy Interchange.[2]
The proposal also details that the expressway will be a 23.1 meter-wide, four-lane main road with 34 viaducts, a 260 meter-long tunnel, and 9 interchanges (3 T-Hub, 1 partial cloverleaf and 5 diamond interchanges). Viaducts at various lengths make up 90% of the project, while the rest will be built at-grade. The project's total cost is estimated to be P80.528 billion, including a road right of way (ROW) cost estimate of P4.12 billion. The project will be under an ODA (Official Development Assistance) mode of financing.[2][3]
The Davao City Expressway is expected to greatly improve the traffic capacity of Davao section of Asian Highway 26 (AH26) once completed. The project is expected to boost economic and social development in Davao City, and potentially drive rapid economic development to the rest of Mindanao.
