Circumferential Road 6 (C-6), informally known as the C-6 Road, is a network of roads and bridges that all together will form the sixth and outermost beltway of Metro Manila in the Philippines once it is completed.[1]

The road would link Metro Manila with the provinces of Bulacan in the north, Rizal in the east, and Cavite in the south via Phase 2, passing through the cities of Pasig, Taguig, and Muntinlupa.

Conceived of during the Marcos Sr. administration,[2] was originally intended to be a 59.5adj=onNaNadj=on long circumferential expressway linking the North Luzon Expressway in Bulacan and the South Luzon Expressway in Muntinlupa, passing through Marilao and San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, Rodriguez, San Mateo, Antipolo and Taytay in Rizal, and extending to Bacoor, Imus, Kawit and Noveleta in Cavite.[3] Additionally, there were proposals for its northern endpoint to connect with the proposed Manila–Bataan Coastal Road in Navotas or Bulakan, near the Manila Bay.[4] [5]

Phase 1: Bicutan (Taguig) to Batasan-San Mateo Road (San Mateo)
Phase 2: Marilao (Bulacan) to Noveleta (Cavite)

Route description

Taguig

See also: Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike. C-6 in Taguig is a four-lane road which was built in 2009 along the shore of Laguna de Bay. It was constructed as a two-lane road which runs for approximately 7km (04miles) from M.L. Quezon Street in Lower Bicutan, Taguig to the Napindan Bridge over the Pasig River on the city's border with the municipality of Taytay, Rizal.[6] The road project was approved in 2002 as the Taguig Road Dike intended to run for 9.8km (06.1miles)} from the South Luzon Expressway towards Rizal and also to serve as a flood control for the city.[7] In February 2017, the road was widened to four lanes and has been renamed by the Department of Public Works and Highways as the Laguna Lake Highway.[8]

The road is planned to link to the proposed Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike.[9]
