Route description
editFrom the south, the road starts at the intersection with Tagaytay–Nasugbu Road (J.P. Laurel Street) and the access road to Coast Guard Sub-Station Nasugbu in Nasugbu. Running parallel to the western coast of Batangas and Cavite, it turns north at its intersection with Looc Road before traversing the Mounts Palay-Palay–Mataas-na-Gulod Protected Landscape, where it enters the province of Cavite at Maragondon. The road ends at its intersection with Caylabne Road in Ternate and continues towards the town proper as Governor's Drive.[1]
History
editThe road from Barangay Wawa was extended towards Ternate through a project conceived in 1994 during the administration of President Fidel V. Ramos.[5][6][7][8] However, the construction was delayed due to right-of-way issues, with the groundbreaking held in 2009 during the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and completed in 2013 during the administration of her successor President Benigno Aquino III. The project includes a 4-kilometer (2.5 mi) paved road, a 1.4-kilometer (0.87 mi) concrete road, four new bridges, and the 300-meter (980 ft) Kaybiang Tunnel.[9][10]
Intersections
editIntersections are numbered by kilometer posts, with Rizal Park in Manila designated as kilometer zero.
