Parts and Intersections of the C-3 Road
C-3 Road
Is the portion of C-3 from R-10 to 5th Avenue and continues from 5th Avenue to Sgt. Rivera Avenue
5th Avenue
Is the portion of the C-3 road which is currently 2-lane, eastbound one-way traffic located in Caloocan from C-3 Road (West) to C-3 Road (East). Currently this segment of the C-3 is undergoing an 6 lane (3 on both sides) expansion to accommodate and connect C-3 Road (East) and C-3 Road (West) to both East and West bound traffic
Sgt. Rivera Avenue
After passing the Caloocan Borders, C-3 Road (East) becomes Sgt. Rivera Avenue. Sgt. Rivera Avenue is a main road in Quezon City with 6 lanes. It becomes G. Araneta after turning southwards after its intersection with Sto Domingo Avenue. Oftentimes the names G. Araneta and Sgt. Rivera are interchangeably used by people in this segment of the C-3.
Gregorio Araneta Avenue
C-3 becomes G. Araneta Avenue after turning southwards after its intersection with Sto. Domingo Avenue up to where it was cut short in San Juan via the N. Domingo Street. This area of the C-3 is well known for its big funeral parlors such as Arlington and La Funeraria Paz, SM City Sta. Mesa and the creek from Toctokan Street up to Quezon Avenue which is a flood prone zone due to overflowing during rainy season and it being one of the lowest area in the C-3 (the other is the area where it crosses with Aurora Boulevard).
Metro Manila Skybridge
The Metro Manila Skybridge is a proposed 6-lane elevated expressway that will form the missing link of the C-3 connecting G. Araneta Avenue in Quezon City to South Avenue in Makati with several interchanges.[1]
South Avenue and Ayala Avenue
Are segments of the C-3 Road from J.P. Rizal Avenue to Paseo de Roxas. These roads, along with Arnaiz Avenue (formerly Pasay Road & Libertad), passes through the area of the Philippines' Premier Central Business District one of which is the Ayala Center in Makati.
Sen. Gil J. Puyat Avenue (Buendia Avenue)
At the junction between Ayala Avenue, C-3 continues by turning west to Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue up to the Roxas Boulevard. Along with South Avenue and Ayala Avenue, it passes through the area of the Philippines' Premier Central Business District one of which is the Ayala Center in Makati. SLEX can be accessed through its junction with it. And also it passes through several provincial bus stations in the junction with Taft Avenue.
Sen. Gil J. Puyat Avenue Extension (Buendia Avenue Extension)
The Sen. Gil Puyat extension from Roxas Boulevard to Jose Diokno Boulevard in Bay City in Pasay are no longer parts of C-3. C-3, like the other completed circumferential roads in Manila and in Metro Manila (C-1, C-2, and C-4), starts in R-10 and officially ends in R-1.
