The Central Mindanao High Standard Highway (CMHSH), also known as the Central Mindanao Expressway, is a proposed controlled-access highway in Northern Mindanao, Philippines. The project aims to provide a high-speed corridor between Cagayan de Oro and Davao City, bypassing the existing Sayre Highway.
Route description
The first phase of the project covers a length of 65 kilometers (40 mi), spanning the provinces of Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon. The route originates at a major interchange in Tagoloan, positioned to serve the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate. In the future, the expressway will be extended to Davao City.
History
Planning
The project was identified as a "highest priority" corridor in the Master Plan for High Standard Highway Network Development (Phase 2), conducted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in 2021.[1]
In June 2024, JICA released the definitive Preparatory Survey for the Central Mindanao High Standard Highway Project, which finalized the engineering designs for the Cagayan de Oro–Malaybalay section. The report specified the use of Japanese technology for seismic resilience and PC box girders with corrugated steel-webs to handle the region's mountainous terrain.[2]
Financing
The highway utilizes a hybrid financing model involving both Japanese and multilateral development bank support:
- JICA: On March 27, 2026, a loan agreement was signed for Section 1 (approx. 12 km (7.5 mi)) within Cagayan de Oro City.[3]
- ADB: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other development partners is slated to finance Sections 2 through 5 (approx. 53 km (33 mi)) through the Infrastructure Preparation and Innovation Facility (IPIF).[4][3]
- National Budget: On March 23, 2026, the Philippine government issued a Forward Obligational Authority (FOA) of ₱145.56 billion to secure funding through 2034.[5]
Exits
This entire route is located in Northern Mindanao. Exits will be numbered by kilometer posts.
