The Elliptical Road is a 1.98-kilometer (1.23 mi) roundabout[1] in Quezon City, which circumscribes the Quezon Memorial Circle, a large park. It was named after its elliptical shape. The road is divided into eight lanes: three main lanes, four for exiting vehicles, and one for bicycles and pedicabs.[2]

This area of Quezon City is called "Philcoa", after the Philippine Coconut Authority (PHILCOA), one of the government agencies headquartered there.

History

The earliest known plan involving the roundabout is seen on the first version of Frost Plan, the original urban plan for Quezon City, approved in 1941.[3][4] It is located northeast of the formerly proposed 400-hectare (990-acre) Diliman Quadrangle within the former Diliman Estate, also known as Hacienda de Tuason, purchased by the Philippine Commonwealth government in 1939 as the new capital to replace Manila.[5] It was originally planned to circumscribe the National Capitol grounds that would have housed the Philippine Legislature.[6] However, the capitol's construction was interrupted during World War II and would later be scrapped in favor of the Quezon Memorial Circle, built in honor of the late President Manuel L. Quezon.

Junctions

The entire route is located in Quezon City.
