The Cebu Trans-Axial Expressway is a proposed 4-lane, 300-kilometer, limited-access toll expressway. When completed, this would be Visayas' first expressway. It could also decongest most of Cebu Island's coastal roads and protect the island's coastal areas from unexpected exploits.

The expressway will be initially built with two lanes, one for each direction. As soon as these lanes became operational, another carriageway will be built.

The government shoulders the financing for the construction, but upon completion, the operation and maintenance of toll facility will be offered to the private sector through concession.
