Route description

The road in Victorias

True to its name, the road connects Bacolod downtown to the northern and eastern coastal municipalities and cities of Negros Occidental up to San Carlos, where the province also shares its boundary with Negros Oriental.[5]

The road starts at the kilometer zero of Negros Occidental in front of the Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol in downtown Bacolod as a continuation of Bacolod South Road. There, it assumes the local name Lacson Street and is part of N7. It then traverses Talisay (where it is locally known as Mabini Street and briefly splits into two as it crosses Catabla River), Silay (where it is locally known as Rizal Street), E. B. Magalona, Victorias, Manapla, Cadiz, Sagay, Escalante (where it turns west at the Escalante City Rotonda), Toboso, Calatrava, and finally San Carlos. In the San Carlos city proper, it is locally known as C.J. Ledesma Avenue. The road terminates approximately at the provincial boundary with Negros Oriental, where it is continued by Dumaguete North Road.[5]

History

The road was historically part of Highway 1 that inscribed Negros incompletely.[6][7] A new bypass road in Manapla was later built and forms the current alignment of the road.[8]
