South Road Properties: Connecting Cebu

Transportation networks and systems are significant in any community. It builds the foundation where the residents can easily travel between destinations and has a vital part in the development of the place.

In Cebu, a 300-hectare island-type reclamation area known as the South Road Properties (SRP), plays a major role when it comes to accessibility. Whether you are going down south, heading up north or crossing to Mactan Island, it’s truly convenient from here.

Located at the southern part of Cebu City and practically next to Talisay City, here is a list of how South Road Properties can bring enjoyable seamless travels, connect different places in Cebu, and make logistics and traveling back and forth hassle-free.

South Road Properties

Cebu South Coastal Road

Cebu South Coastal Road is what serves the whole SRP. This two-way national road with six lanes is a diversion road from Talisay City to downtown Cebu. This road gives motorists an option to bypass heavy traffic on the old Cebu south highway and provides direct access from the southern towns to the city center.

South Road Properties Subway

Also known as the SRP Tunnel, the almost one-kilometer-long South Road Properties Subway connects the Cebu South Coastal Road and the North Reclamation Area, also providing easier access to the Port of Cebu. It consists of four lanes with two tunnels in both directions, and passes right underneath Plaza Independencia and Fort San Pedro. This joint development project of Cebu City with Japan, started construction in 2001 and was completed in 2011.

Considered one of the largest infrastructures in the Philippines, the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway is the longest bridge-way with a length of 8.5 km. This expressway will connect mainland Cebu from Cebu City to Cordova town in Mactan Island. With this development, traveling from south Cebu to the Mactan Cebu International Airport will be a lot more convenient. The CCLEX, which is expected to open by first quarter in 2022, is expected to aid and lessen traffic on other bridges and increase economic advancement in Cebu and all throughout the Visayas.
