The R-7 Expressway is a proposed expressway in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Originally proposed in 1993, the project will be constructed over the most heavily congested corridors in Metro Manila, namely Quezon Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue.[1]
Route
[edit]2010 proposal
[edit]The alignment was to have 16.1 kilometers (10.0 mi) of route, and the project will be constructed over one of the most heavily congested corridors in Metro Manila, namely Quezon Avenue and Don Mariano Marcos Avenue. It will be partially elevated and partially underground expressway. The expressway will connect Quezon City and Manila with a high-speed transport facility, thus decongesting traffic on at-grade roads. The project is believed to cost PhP 23.980 billion (US$532.89 million).[2][3] However, the project was not included in the priority projects list under the administration of Benigno Aquino III.
2014 and 2019 JICA studies
[edit]In 2014, under the Roadmap for Transport Infrastructure Development for Metro Manila and Its Surrounding Areas (Region III & Region IV-A; also known as the Metro Manila Dream Plan), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) study proposes a dual 2-lane elevated expressway with a length of 10.2 kilometers (6.3 mi) between Manila and Tandang Sora Avenue.[4] A proposal was mentioned again in the 2019 follow-up report.[5]
