Route description
Tuy to Balayan
The highway as J.P. Rizal Street in Tuy town proper
The highway begins at Palico Junction, a roundabout interchange in Tuy. It runs southeast and enters the Tuy poblacion as J.P. Rizal Street. It then veers south towards another roundabout in Balayan, where it veers southeast, bypassing the town proper.
In Barangay Gimalas, Balayan, the highway follows the alignment of Gimalas Old Road before entering Calaca. It then passes near the Calaca Power Plant and the Calaca city proper before meeting the southern terminus of Diokno Highway at Barangay Mahayahay, Lemery. It then traverses Lemery town proper as Ilustre Avenue, crosses the Pansipit River into Taal, and continues east as Calle Marcela Mariño Agoncillo, which is one-way westbound up to its intersection with Calle H. del Castillo and Calle Vicente Ilustre, passing the Taal Basilica before becoming Calle Jose P. Rizal.
The route proceeds through Santa Teresita and briefly in San Luis and Alitagtag before entering Bauan. In the Bauan town proper, it is locally known as F. Mangobos Street before turning south onto J.P. Rizal Street, which is one-way southbound, and east onto Kapitan Ponso Street, which is one-way eastbound up to Buendia Street. It then traverses San Pascual and Batangas City, where it ends at the junction with Jose P. Laurel Highway and P. Burgos Street (Manila–Batangas Pier Road) in Barangay Calicanto.[1]
The highway originally existed as the Tuy–Batangas section of the Batangas–Bauan–Nasugbu Road, an old road which linked Nasugbu with the then-town of Batangas.[2][3][4] The latter also formed part of Highway 17 that linked Imus, Cavite with Batangas.[5][6] New alignment bypassing the downtowns of Balayan and Calaca were later added to form the present-day highway.[7]
