Meanwhile in Davao City a new coastal road is being planned, which will run on reclaimed land. The coastal road will measure 35km long although the project will also include reclaiming around 200ha of land. The new link will connect with a new port being planned as well as new residential and industrial areas. Plans are in place also for work on 10 bypass sections around Davao City, measuring a total of 108km.
