The Manila-Cavite Expressway (formerly named as the Manila-Cavite Tollway and Aguinaldo Boulevard, but widely known to locals as the Coastal Road) is a 6.6 km tollway/expressway in the Philippines. It is considered part of the R-1 radial road of Metro Manila. It is owned and operated by the Public Estates Authority Tollway Corporation (PEATC), a government owned and / or owned corporation and a subsidiary of the Public Estates Authority, an office under the Office of the President.

At the north end, it feeds into and from Roxas Boulevard in the city of Parañaque in Metro Manila, also part of R-1. At the south end, it connects directly to General Emilio Aguinaldo Highway in the municipality of Bacoor, Cavite, one of the major highways of the province.

According to PEATC, there are plans to expand the role of the expressway by extending it westward from its current southern terminus at Bacoor through Kawit to Noveleta, where it will eventually connect to C-6, the now-under-construction Bulacan-Rizal-Manila-Cavite Regional Expressway. Meanwhile, when the C-5 circumferential road is extended southward, it will also eventually be connected to the expressway up to Bay Boulevard in Las Pinas City. It will be the street alignment of the Manila LRT Yellow Line South Extension when completed in Paranaque City. It will have 2 stations, namely: Asia World and Ninoy Aquino.

There are currently no true interchanges along this tollway (although there are a number of at-grade "exit points" along the northbound length, mostly property access), and there is a single toll barrier about midway. Vehicles are charged a flat toll rate based on class. Though the toll facility currently has no ability for electronic toll collection, PEATC is currently researching its viability for the expressway.

These are the status of the exits of Manila Cavite Expressway. On the expressway segment, exit numbers start at 9. As of now there is no official 'KM 0.' Officially, the strech of road north of NAIA Road is Roxas Boulevard, however there are a few important intersections on that short section up to EDSA. Exit numbers currently are not posted anywhere on the expressway.

The intersection underneath the overpass has been reconfigured and controlled using traffic cones to minimize traffic on EDSA. So for Northbound travelers, keeping right will take you to EDSA northbound only, while access to the Mall of Asia can be obtained by using NAIA Road and Macapagal Boulevard. For Southbound travellers, keeping right takes you to the Mall of Asia, while access to Northbound EDSA can be obtained using Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue (Buendia) and Taft Avenue.
