Roxas Boulevard, formerly
known as Dewey Boulevard, is a road in Metro Manila
. It is an 8-lane arterial road and connects the centre of
Manila with Pasay
City
, Parañaque City
, and the province of Cavite
.
Named after former president
Manuel
Roxas, it is one of the
major arteries in the city's
metropolitan network, designated Radial Road 1.
It runs parallel to
Manila
Bay
and is well-known for its sunsets. The
boulevard, as a result, has become a trademark of Philippine
tourism, famed for the yacht clubs, hotels and fine dining which
lie on the eastern side of the road.
It runs in a
north-south direction from Luneta (Rizal Park
) in Manila
and ends in
Parañaque City, at an intersection leading west to the new
development of Asia World City, built on land reclaimed from Manila Bay, and leading east to Ninoy Aquino
International Airport
. Beyond its southern terminus, it becomes the
Manila-Cavite Expressway,
ending in Bacoor,
Cavite
.
