Route description

Bonifacio Drive

edit

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

edit

R-1 becomes Roxas Boulevard after intersecting with Padre Burgos Avenue. This section of R-1 passes through the kilometer zero of the Philippines in Rizal Park. 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 and Seaside Drive.

Manila–Cavite Expressway

edit

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

Covelandia Road

R-1 then merges with Covelandia Road briefly until it meets Antero Soriano Highway at the intersection with Tirona Highway.

Antero Soriano Highway
