Radial Road 1, more commonly referred to as R-1, is a 41.5-kilometer (25.8 mi) long network of roads and bridges that altogether form the first arterial road of Manila in the Philippines.[1] The road runs north-south linking the City of Manila to the Metro Manila cities of Pasay, Parañaque and Las Piñas, down to Bacoor, Imus, Kawit, Noveleta, General Trias, Tanza, and Naic in the province of Cavite.

Route

The road consists of the following segments from north to south:

Mel Lopez Boulevard

Between the northern terminus of R-1 at Roxas Bridge (formerly Delpan Bridge) and Anda Circle, R-1 is known as Mel Lopez Boulevard. This segment was formerly part of Bonifacio Drive until it was renamed on April 2019 by virtue of Republic Act No. 11280 in honor of former Manila Mayor Gemilano Lopez.[2] The renamed boulevard itself is more known to be a component of Radial Road 10, which runs north of the Roxas Bridge.

Bonifacio Drive

Between Anda Circle and Padre Burgos Avenue, R-1 is known as Bonifacio Drive. It serves the districts of Intramuros and Port Area and meets Roxas Boulevard in Rizal Park.

Roxas Boulevard

R-1 becomes Roxas Boulevard after intersecting with Padre Burgos Avenue. This section of R-1 in Rizal Park is marked as Kilometer 0. It is a waterfront promenade which leads out of Ermita and Malate in the City of Manila into Pasay and Parañaque. Roxas Boulevard ends at the junction with NAIA Road.

Manila–Cavite Expressway

Approaching the Parañaque Toll Plaza of CAVITEx

Between NAIA Road and Antero Soriano Highway in Kawit, Cavite, R-1 is known as the Manila–Cavite Expressway (also known as Coastal Road or CAVITEx). This toll road connects Parañaque with Las Piñas and leaves Metro Manila for Bacoor and Kawit in the province of Cavite.

Antero Soriano Highway

R-1 is known as the Antero Soriano Highway from the CAVITEx terminus in Kawit to Governor's Drive in Naic. It connects the Cavite municipalities of Noveleta, Rosario, Tanza, and the cities of General Trias, and Imus in the Manila Bay coast of Cavite.
