N82 highway

National Route 82 is a minor primary route connecting the cities of Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue. It is the second shortest primary route, the first being the N61 highway in Metro Manila. It is iconic for being the first highway to link Cebu and Mactan Island, the next two being N841 and Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway.

History

The roads, including the bridge were constructed in the 1970s. During late 2016, route markers were placed, one of them being N82.
