Naguilian Road (officially Quirino Highway and also known as the Baguio-Bauang Road) is a Philippine major highway in northern Luzon that runs from the city of Baguio to the municipality of Bauang in the province of La Union.
The 46-kilometre (29 mi)[1] highway traverses the Benguet municipalities of Tuba and Sablan, and the La Union towns of Burgos, Naguilian and Bauang.[1][2]
The highway serves as a major access route to Baguio.[3] It is primarily used by motorists coming from the port city of San Fernando as well as the northern provinces of the Ilocos Region to get to the city.[1]
Although Quirino Highway is the official name of the road, most people are more used to calling it by its former name Naguilian Road.[4]
History
Naguilian Road, as it was once known, was the first and only road connecting the city to the lowlands, until Kennon Road was built in 1901.[5] The highway was renamed into "President Elpidio Quirino Highway", in honor of former Philippine President Elpidio Quirino.[6][7]
