Gregorio Araneta Avenue
road in the Philippines
Gregorio Araneta Avenue is a suburban arterial road in the Santa Mesa Heights area of Quezon City, northeastern Metro Manila, Philippines. Constructed in 1985, it is a six-to-eight-lane divided avenue designated as part of Circumferential Road 3 (C-3) and a physical continuation of Sergeant Rivera Street, which travels from Santo Domingo Avenue at its north end near Balintawak in Quezon City and meets N. Domingo Street in the south in San Juan near the border with Santa Mesa, Manila. En route, it intersects with Del Monte Avenue, Quezon Avenue, Eulogio Rodriguez Sr. Avenue and Magsaysay-Aurora Boulevard, passing through barangays Balingasa, Manresa, Masambong, Sienna, Santo Domingo, Talayan, Tatalon, Santol, and Doña Imelda in Quezon City and Progreso in San Juan.
The avenue lies in a flood-prone zone near San Francisco del Monte and the San Juan River. It was named after lawyer and landowner Gregorio S. Araneta, who owned the Santa Mesa Heights Subdivision on which it was built.
Between Del Monte Avenue and Quezon Avenue, Gregorio Araneta Avenue runs alongside Talayan Creek, serving as the waterway median of the avenue. As a result of the Skyway Stage 3 project, parts of the waterway median were converted into a closed culvert for access to and from the Skyway.
The Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 covers almost the entire road, starting from Sergeant Rivera Avenue and ending at the San Juan River.
