National Route 81 (N81) is a 71-kilometer (44 mi), east-west primary[1] route which forms part of the Philippine highway network in Cebu connecting the cities and municipalities of Naga, Toledo, Pinamungahan, Aloguinsan and Barili.[2][3]

History

The direct predecessors of N81 were Highway 337 from Naga to Toledo, Highway 317 from Pinamungahan to Aloguinsan, and Highway 313 in Barili.[4] When the modern highway routes were assigned in 2014, the segment of Cebu−Toledo Wharf Road from Barangay Lutopan to Poblacion except Toledo Port and Naga−Uling Road was assigned as N81. Around 2022, the route expanded when the Toledo–Pinamungahan–Aloguinsan–Mantalongon Road became part of N81 as it was signed as a secondary road (N820).

Route Description

Naga to Uling

N81 begins as the Naga–Uling Road in Naga from its junction with the Naga–Uling Road (N8). The route then makes a junction with the southern terminus of the under-construction Metro Cebu Expressway.[5][6] After reaching Toledo it meets its end in the Cebu–Toledo Wharf Road (N825) in a Y-junction. After the junction, N81 is transferred to this road.

Uling to Toledo Wharf

After the Naga–Uling Road junction, N81 is assigned to Cebu–Toledo Wharf Road, succeeding its previous route N825 The road exits the mountainous part of Toledo and enters its poblacion. Cebu–Toledo Wharf Road becomes part of N826 and ends in the port of Toledo and N81 is reassigned.[5]

Toledo Wharf to Mantalongon

After Cebu–Toledo Wharf Road becomes a port road designated as N826, the number is assigned to Toledo–Pinamungahan–Aloguinsan–Mantalongon Road. It traverses the eponymous towns of Pinamungahan and Aloguinsan, eventually reaching the barangay of Mantalongon in Barili. N81 ends there in a three-way junction with the N83 and N830 portions of the Carcar–Barili Road.
