Iloilo Sunset Boulevard, also called Iloilo River North Bank Road,[1] is a 4.99-kilometre (3.10 mi) four-lane thoroughfare extending from Barangay Tabucan in Mandurriao, Iloilo City, to Barangay Cagbang in Oton, Iloilo, Philippines.[2] The roadway became partially operational in June 2024 and is projected to be fully completed by December 2024.[3][4] It is expected to alleviate traffic congestion along the Iloilo-Antique Road in the Molo and Arevalo districts. The boulevard begins south of the Iloilo Business Park and runs along the north bank of the Iloilo River, extending to the southern municipalities of Iloilo province.[5] The infrastructure includes designated pedestrian sidewalks, dedicated bicycle lanes on both sides, and an extension of the Iloilo River Esplanade.[6]
