Circumferential Road 5

NLEX Karuhatan Link, also known as the NLEX Segment 9, starts at MacArthur Highway in Karuhatan, Valenzuela and goes east up to Smart Connect Interchange, a cloverleaf interchange with the North Luzon Expressway. The entire 2.4 kilometers (1.5 mi) toll road is designated as part of a C-5 Road.

From the Smart Connect Interchange to a 3-way signalized junction with Mindanao Avenue, C-5 is known as NLEX Mindanao Avenue Link or NLEX Segment 8.1. The entire 2.7 kilometers (1.7 mi) toll road is designated as part of a C-5 Road.

Mindanao Avenue in Barangay Tandang Sora, Quezon City

At the eastern end of NLEX Mindanao Avenue Link, C-5 turns southeast and becomes Mindanao Avenue. With the entire avenue spanning 6.7 kilometers (4.2 mi), it is a 10-lane divided carriageway that serves as the main transportation corridor of Barangays Talipapa and Tandang Sora in Quezon City. The 3.5 kilometers (2.2 mi) portion of this road from NLEX Mindanao Avenue Link to Congressional Avenue is designated as a portion of the C-5 Road.

At the signaled junction with Mindanao Avenue, C-5 turns northeast as the Congressional Avenue, a 6-lane divided carriageway that serves as the main east to west transportation corridor of Barangays Bahay Toro, Culiat, Pasong Tamo, and Tandang Sora in Quezon City. It then continues east for 3.9 kilometers (2.4 mi) up to Luzon Avenue. The whole segment of Congressional Avenue is designated as part of N129.

Luzon Avenue Flyover

At the end of Congressional Avenue Extension, C-5 turns south as Luzon Avenue, a 4-lane divided city road between Barangays Culiat and Matandang Balara in Quezon City, for 850 meters (2,790 ft) up to Commonwealth Avenue. The 6-lane Luzon Avenue Flyover carries C-5 across Commonwealth Avenue to connect it with Tandang Sora Avenue.

Southeast of Commonwealth Avenue, C-5 is known as Tandang Sora Avenue. It runs for 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) from Barangay Matandang Balara, going around the University of the Philippines Diliman campus, up to the junction with Magsaysay Avenue. The original planned route of C-5 included the entire 9.6-kilometer (6.0 mi) road; however, due to the incapacity of the road to carry a large amount of vehicular traffic, only the 1-kilometer (0.62 mi) portion of the road from the Luzon Avenue Flyover to Magsaysay Avenue was designated as a portion of C-5 Road. Furthermore, Tandang Sora Avenue becomes a 6-lane divided carriageway shortly after crossing Capitol Hills Drive, 350 meters (1,150 ft) south of the flyover.

Katipunan Avenue

After crossing Magsaysay Avenue, C-5 turns south and becomes Katipunan Avenue, a 10-lane divided carriageway that serves as the main transportation corridor of Matandang Balara, Pansol, Loyola Heights, and Project 4 in Quezon City. It heads south for 4.8 kilometers (3.0 mi) until its junction with Bonny Serrano Avenue. Shortly before crossing Bonny Serrano Avenue, a 4-lane divided underpass descends from Katipunan Avenue and traverses underneath Col. Bonny Serrano Avenue and ascends into Libis Flyover, which immediately connects it to E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue.

C-5 then turns east as Col. Bonny Serrano Avenue, 4-lane undivided avenue, for 500 meters (1,600 ft) from Katipunan Avenue to Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue. A 4-lane divided underpass descends from Katipunan Avenue and traverses underneath Col. Bonny Serrano Avenue as Libis Underpass and ascends into Libis Flyover, which immediately connects it to E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue.

Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue

At its junction with Bonny Serrano Avenue, C-5 then turns south as Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue, a 6.7-kilometer (4.2 mi), 10-lane divided road that serves as the main thoroughfare between Quezon City and Pasig. The entire road, from Katipunan Avenue to Pasig Boulevard is designated as a portion of C-5 Road. The road ends in a junction with Pasig Boulevard and continues onto Bagong Ilog Bridge that crosses the Pasig River and eventually becomes C.P. Garcia Avenue shortly afterwards. The avenue is named after Eulogio Rodriguez, Jr., a former congressman and governor of Rizal. [5]

Past the Bagong Ilog Bridge over the Pasig River, C-5 comes Carlos P. Garcia Avenue. It is a 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi), 14-lane divided road that serves as the main thoroughfare between Pasig and Pasay, passing a small portion in Makati and continuously passing Taguig. It then meets the exit ramps to the C-5 South Link Expressway and South Luzon Expressway, before ending at the intersection with East Service Road.

On July 23, 2007, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo announced on her State of the Nation Address that C-5 Road will be extended to the north of Metro Manila, from North Luzon Expressway in Quezon City to Navotas and will be extended in the south from South Luzon Expressway in Taguig-Parañaque boundary to Coastal Road in Las Piñas in the southern part of Ninoy Aquino International Airport.[8]

As of June 2010, the NLEx Mindanao Avenue Link (Segment 8.1) in Valenzuela City and Congressional Avenue Extension from Tandang Sora to Luzon Avenues in Quezon City have been opened to all motorists in the North Extension. SLEx-Sucat Link or Carlos P. Garcia Avenue Extension in the South Extension located in Parañaque were also opened.

As of March 2015, the NLEX Karuhatan Link (Segment 9) has been opened to all motorists. The opening of the Segment 9 from NLEx to MacArthur Highway in Karuhatan, Valenzuela served as a preparation for the Holy Week season.

At present, the New Luzon Avenue Flyover connecting Tandang Sora and Luzon Avenues across Commonwealth Avenue was opened to all motorists. Prior to the opening of the flyover, the Congressional Avenue Extension from Visayas to Luzon Avenue was opened in 2010 to decongest heavy traffic in Visayas-Tandang Sora Avenue Intersection.

The C-5 South Link Expressway, or the CAVITEX - C-5 Link Expressway, is a 7.737-kilometer (4.808 mi) toll expressway that will connect Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) with the main route of C-5 in Taguig. The project costs at ₱12 billion (US$253 million), and is a joint project of the Philippine Reclamation Authority, Toll Regulatory Board, and CAVITEX Infrastructure, Inc. The expressway is built in two phases, with the first phase that fills the gap between the C-5 main route and the C-5 Extension in Merville by constructing a 2.2-kilometer (1.4 mi) flyover over SLEX and Skyway, and the second phase involving construction of the Merville-CAVITEX segment. Construction of the new expressway started on May 8, 2016.[10] Phase 1 was opened to traffic on July 23, 2019 and completion of the project is expected in 2021. [11][12]

NLEX Corporation (formerly Manila North Tollways Corporation) and CAVITEX Infrastructure Inc., submitted a proposal for C-5 Expressway, a 19-kilometer (12 mi) fully elevated expressway that will further decongest the existing C-5 and provide a fully controlled-access route between CAVITEX-C5 South Link and NLEX Segment 8.2.[13] The proposed expressway will utilize portions of the existing C-5 right of way between SLEX and Pasig Boulevard, and run above Marikina River from Pasig Boulevard to Luzon Avenue.
