Transcentral Highway






It is a long winding highway that stretches across the mountains of Cebu City and Balamban. It is a significant engineering feat meant to provide the farmers an easy access to the market in the lowlands. It has also accelerated development in the mountain barangays of Cebu City and Balamban.

Although locals are constantly complaining of landslides and collapsed sections (due to the type of soil in the highlands), the transcentral highway remains a remarkable engineering work. The scenery is breathtaking all the way. One of the best places to hike.

Traffic is light at the highway day or night, barely any vehicles pass at dusk because of the descending fog that makes it difficult to see ahead.

I thank the visionary and the implementer of the project because it has provided me and the rest of Cebuanos a convenient and easy way to momentarily escape the travails in the city.
