Route description

Muntinlupa–Cavite Expressway acts as a connector between Daang Hari and South Luzon Expressway. The expressway passes near the vicinity of New Bilibid Prisons and Southville 2A, one of the relocation areas of squatters who once lived beside the Philippine National Railways lines.

The expressway starts with the T-interchange with South Luzon Expressway near Susana Heights. It follows a slight curving route paralleling Magdaong Creek, which acts as a boundary between Poblacion and Tunasan. It soon passes near the New Bilibid Prisons, where several access roads are rerouted with the construction of the expressway. The expressway ends at a roundabout with Daang Hari and Daang Reyna.
