The Metro Cebu Expressway is a 74-kilometer (46 mi) expressway in Metro Cebu, Philippines. Once completed, it will connect Cebu North Road (N8) in Danao to Naga–Uling Road (N81) in Naga[1] and will serve as an alternative north–south backbone highway for Metro Cebu.[2]

As of 2020, only a portion of the expressway in Barangays Pangdan and Cantao-an in Naga, Cebu, part of the project's third segment, has been constructed. Its first and second segments are currently on hold until the approval of unsolicited proposals from private firms and road right-of-way acquisitions.[3]

In July 2025, Cebu City Mayor-elect Nestor Archival urged Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro to fast-track the completion of the Metro Cebu Expressway. Both officials agreed to form a joint task force with DPWH to coordinate progress. The project aims to significantly reduce travel time across Metro Cebu once completed.[4]
