Pasig Boulevard José Rizal (previously) 10.0 m to 17.4 m Lane width 3.35 m to 4.35 m

Shaw Boulevard (formerly known as Jose Rizal Boulevard and Pasig Boulevard) is a 4-8 lane highway connecting the cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig in the Philippines. The boulevard is named after William James Shaw, founder of the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club in Mandaluyong. The road is one of the major thoroughfares of the Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong and Pasig, housing many shopping malls like the Starmall shopping center and Shangri-La Plaza at the EDSA-Shaw intersection and The Marketplace, which is visible from the Kalentong-Shaw intersection and Sevilla Bridge.

It is served by the Shaw Boulevard station of the MRT-3 along its intersection with EDSA. Bus and jeepney routes serve the entirety of the road, going to and from Quiapo, Santa Mesa, José Rizal University, EDSA, Ortigas Center, the Pasig Public Market, and various towns in Rizal.

Intersection of Shaw Boulevard and [[Meralco Avenue]] in Pasig in 2016

Shaw Boulevard starts as a four-lane road at Sevilla Bridge, which crosses the San Juan River, before coming to an intersection past General Kalentong Street. It is the physical continuation of P. Sanchez Street in Manila. It follows a slightly curved route over Mandaluyong before crossing EDSA; the intersection of the highway with EDSA is commonly called Crossing for this reason. The road expands into four lanes per direction, with two lanes going to the flyover and two lanes passing below. The flyover carries the road over Shaw Boulevard MRT station and descends near EDSA Shangri-La. The road becomes a dual six-lane carriageway east of EDSA and soon enters Pasig. Shaw Boulevard is eventually reduced to a four-lane road, extending to C-5 as Pasig Boulevard.

The entire span of the road and its continuations from Sevilla Bridge to Pasig Boulevard have Class II paint-separated one-way bike lanes on both sides as part of the Metropolitan Bike Lane Network. The intersection of Shaw Boulevard, West Capitol Drive, and Camino Verde Road has dedicated bike boxes, which were introduced in September 2021.

Proposal for the elevated expressway

In 2014, under the Roadmap for Transport Infrastructure Development for Metro Manila and Its Surrounding Areas (Region III & Region IV-A; also known as the Metro Manila Dream Plan), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) study proposes a dual 2-lane elevated expressway from NLEX-SLEX Connector Road (later renamed as NLEX Connector during construction) near Santa Mesa over this highway (R-5) through Pasig to connect with C-5. It was mentioned again in the 2019 follow-up report.
