The Davao City Bypass Construction Project (DCBCP) is expected to be fully operational by 2028, cutting travel time from Toril to Panabo to 49 minutes. DPWH-Davao confirms significant progress on the 45.5km project, including its 2.3km twin mountain tunnels.
THE Department of Public Works and Highways-Davao Region bared that the Davao City Bypass Construction Project is expected to be fully operational by 2028.Engr. Joselito Reyes, the project manager, said that the bypass is divided into six construction packages, each with a different start date, which affects their completion timelines. Despite this, each package is projected to take approximately three years to complete.
Package I-1 includes a four-lane road, bridges, box culverts for drainage, at-grade intersections, underpasses, overpasses, and the two tunnels. Excavation of the northbound tunnel was completed in March 2025, allowing road paving and finishing works to begin. Meanwhile, workers still need to excavate 117 meters of the southbound tunnel, with both ends expected to connect by July or August this year. These tunnels are projected to be operational by late 2026 or early 2027.
