    Current route

    edit

    Currently, Radial Road 5 officially consists of Ortigas Avenue from the Ortigas Interchange to the Metro Manila-Rizal border at the Sapang Bato-Buli Creek based on 2024 data from the Department of Public Works and Highways.[2]

    For traffic management purposes, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority designates its Radial Road 5 separately, which is the same as the DPWH alignment.[3]

    Original route

    edit

    The route was originally planned outwards from Manila towards Rizal province, consisting of Victorino Mapa Street, P. Sanchez Street, Shaw Boulevard, Pasig Boulevard until the Circumferential Road 5–Ortigas Avenue Interchange, and Ortigas Avenue in Metro Manila. It then continues on Ortigas Avenue into Rizal province as Ortigas Avenue Extension, Taytay Diversion Road, and Manila East Road, which goes further into the province.

    Victorino Mapa Street

    edit

    R-5 begins as Victorino Mapa Street in Santa Mesa, Manila from the intersection with Magsaysay Boulevard to where it connects to P. Sanchez Street at a junction with Victorino Mapa Street Extension. It is the main north–south road of Santa Mesa.

    P. Sanchez Street

    edit

    R-5 is known as P. Sanchez Street along the rest of the route in Santa Mesa. Named after Francisco de Paula Sanchez, a Jesuit priest from the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, it links Santa Mesa to Mandaluyong east of the San Juan River.

    Shaw Boulevard

    edit
     
    Shaw BoulevardinMandaluyong

    The main segment of R-5 in Mandaluyong and Pasig is known as Shaw Boulevard. Padre Sanchez Street merges with Shaw Boulevard at the intersection with General Kalentong Street. It travels east-southeast near the border with San Juan and passes through the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club before arriving at the intersection with Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (C-4). East of EDSA, R-5 forms the southern boundary of the Ortigas Center business district and quickly enters the city of Pasig after crossing San Miguel Avenue. It passes through the Capitol Commons development at the former Rizal Provincial Capitol complex before turning south on Pasig Boulevard at the junction with Hillcrest Drive in Bagong Ilog, Pasig.

    Pasig Boulevard

    edit

    Between Shaw Boulevard and Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C-5), R-5 is known as Pasig Boulevard. It marks the boundary between barangays Kapitolyo and Bagong Ilog running north–south towards the Pasig River before turning east towards C-5 by the Rizal Medical Center.

    Ortigas Avenue

    edit
     
    Ortigas AvenueinCainta, Rizal

    The area of the old city proper of Pasig (Malinao, etc.) east of Bagong Ilog from Pasig Boulevard has a short and narrow street layout. Hence, R-5 follows C-5 northbound and continues its eastward route instead along Ortigas Avenue towards Rizal. From Rosario, Pasig, R-5 passes through the municipalities of Cainta and Taytay turning south on Taytay Diversion Road at the Tikling Junction.

    Taytay Diversion Road

    edit

    Between Ortigas Avenue Extension and the Manila East Road, R-5 is known as the Taytay Diversion Road. It runs north–south traversing the Taytay poblacion of Dolores where SM City Taytay is located.

    Manila East Road

    edit
     
    Manila East RoadinPililla, Rizal

    R-5 in the rest of southern Rizal and eastern Laguna province is known as the Manila East Road. It travels east-southeast mostly along the shore of Laguna de Bay from AngonotoPililla. It crosses the Sierra Madre border between Rizal and Laguna and continues along the lakeshore from Mabitac south towards Pagsanjan.
