Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar, along with Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, lead the virtual inauguration of the Metro Davao Bike Lane Network Project on July 20, 2021.

The 54.71-kilometer bike lane network in Davao, which stretches across 14 road sections, was officially completed on 30 June 2021.

The bike lane network features white and green pavement markings, signage, bollards, bike symbols and concrete delineators to ensure the bikers’ safety. It also has solar studs and bike racks for the comfort and convenience of bikers.

Moreover, the bike lanes are equipped with sheds for bike racks, and are designed with solar studs and planters for greeneries and trees in order to provide cyclists with shade and fresh air.

Funded by the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act of 2020 (Republic Act No. 11494), the project aims to connect Davao’s key activity areas through enhancing their accessibility and providing the most vulnerable road users with safe transport infrastructure.
