This is the most awaited road to be construct this year. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is start constructed the road project of Kapalong-Talaingod-Bukidnon worth of P1.6 billion which expected to cut a travel time of two and half hours (2 1/2), YES you read it right 2 1/2 hour from Cagayan de Oro to Davao City and vice versa, much lesser than the time spent traveling through Davao-Calinan-Bukidnon Road.

It was divided into 8 packages including the 6 bridges to be construct and the opening of the remaining 10-kilometer stretch to the boundary of Bukidnon at Valencia City with a total of total length of 57.79 kilometers from Kapalong-Talaingod-Bukidnon road project. The national government worked 24/7 to hit their target time line by early next year. The 3 regions to be across with this road project are Regions X, XI and XIII and is considered an important section of the Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway traversing Butuan City to Davao City and that of the Sayre Highway along Valencia City in Bukidnon going to Cagayan de Oro City.
