National Route 81 (N81) is a 34.6-kilometer (21.5 mi), east-west primary[1] route which forms part of the Philippine highway network in Cebu connecting the cities and municipalities of Naga, Toledo, Pinamungahan, Aloguinsan and Barili.[2][3] Two roads form the route, namely the Naga−Toledo Road (from Naga to Toledo) and the Uling−Toledo Wharf Road (from Toledo to Uling).[4]
History[edit]
When the highway routes were assigned in 2014, the segment of Cebu−Toledo Wharf Road from Barangay Lutopan to Poblacion except Toledo Port and Naga−Uling Road were assigned as N81. Around 2022, the Toledo–Pinamungahan–Aloguinsan–Mantalongon Road became part of N81 as it was signed as a secondary road (N820).
Route Description[edit]
Toledo to Uling[edit]
N81 begins as the Toledo–Pinamungahan–Aloguinsan–Mantalongon Road in Mantalongon from its junction with the Carcar–Barili Road (N83). It becomes the Uling–Toledo Wharf Road when it passes the intersection of Rafols Street/Toledo Wharf Road (N826). The route then turns east at its intersection with Toledo–Tabuelan–San Remigio Road (N820) towards the mountainous central portion of Cebu island.
Uling to Naga[edit]
At its intersection with Lutopan Road/Toledo–Tabunok Road (N825), N81 becomes the Naga–Toledo Road. The route then makes a junction with the southern terminus of the under-construction Metro Cebu Expressway.[4][5] The route terminates at Natalio Bacalso Avenue (N8) in Naga.[4]
Intersections[edit]
Intersections are numbered by kilometer posts, with Cebu Provincial Capitol designated as kilometer 0.
