Radial Road 4 (R-4), informally known as the R-4 Road, is a network of roads and bridges which comprise the fourth arterial road of Metro Manila in the Philippines.[1] Spanning some 23.5 kilometers (14.6 mi), it connects the cities and municipalities of Makati, Manila, and Taguig in Metro Manila.[2]
Previously, it ran along the Pasig Line, Kalayaan Avenue, M. Concepcion Avenue, Elisco Road, and Highway 2000 from Manila to Taytay, Rizal.
Initially conceived during the administration of Ferdinand Marcos, R-4's alignment was planned to be parallel to the Pasig River from C-2 in Manila to C-6 in Napindan, Taguig.[3]
