Route description

After experiencing delays due to right-of-way issues, it finally opened to traffic in March 2016, the road bypasses within the town propers of Candelaria and Sariaya. It starts from Rosario–San Juan–Candelaria Road in the west and ends at the Maharlika Highway in Lucena. Travelers from Batangas shortens the travel time as an alternate route to the Bicol region. Along the roadway, it is a scenic road—where it passes the agricultural land and plantations in the Quezon province.[3][4]
