Circumferential Road 6 (C-6), informally known as the C-6 Road, is a network of roads and bridges which will comprise the sixth and outermost beltway of Metro Manila in the Philippines once 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 during the Ferdinand Marcos Sr. administration,^[2] C-6 was intended to be a 59.5-kilometer (37.0 mi) long circumferential road 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; it was also proposed to include the northern section of Commonwealth Avenue and Alabang–Zapote Road.^[3]^[4] Additionally, there were proposals for its northern endpoint to connect with the proposed Manila–Bataan Coastal Road in Navotas or Bulakan, near Manila Bay.^[5]^[6]

Phase 1 is expected to run from Bicutan in Taguig to Batasan–San Mateo Road in San Mateo, Rizal. Phase 2 is expected to run from Marilao, Bulacan to Noveleta, Cavite.

Route description

Taguig

C-6 in Taguig is a four-lane road built in 2009 along the shore of Laguna de Bay. It was constructed as a two-lane road which runs for approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) 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.^[7] The road project was approved in 2002 as the Taguig Road Dike intended to run for 9.8 kilometers (6.1 mi) from the South Luzon Expressway towards Rizal, which also serves as flood control for the city.^[8] In February 2017, the road was widened to four lanes and renamed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) as the Laguna Lake Highway.^[9]

The road is planned to link to the proposed Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike.^[10]
