Route description

N82 starts in Mandaue as A.C. Cortes Avenue from its intersection with M.C. Briones Street/Cebu North Road (N8) and Manuel L. Quezon Avenue. The route becomes the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, also known as the Sergio Osmeña Bridge. After crossing the bridge, the route becomes the Maximo V. Patalinjug, Jr. Avenue. The route becomes the Basak–Marigondon Road after crossing the General Aviation Road. It ends in a dead end as the route converts into a non-national road after its terminus junction with the Mactan Circumferential National Road (N845).^[2]
