According to DPWH Secretary Mark Villar, the 10.7 km road network is expected to reduce the traffic along EDSA and C5.

The highway will include 2 additional lanes along Napindan to M. L. Quezon section in Taguig City, a 3m wide bike lane, and planting strips. Moreover, the project covers the rehabilitation of the existing asphalt road and the widening of 2 bridges along the route. The expansion of the bridges are expected to be completed by December 2017.
