History

Although originally named as the Manila-del Monte Garay Road, it was later changed to the Don Tomas Susano Road, after the first officially recognized political leader of the district, during the American Occupation of the Philippines. The name changed once more to Quirino Highway, right after the death of Philippine President Elpidio Quirino (1890-1956), who had lived in a nearby retreat house and died in the same residence.

Route description

Quirino Highway starts from the North Luzon Expressway, near the Balintawak Cloverleaf in Quezon City. It then passes through the northwestern part of Quezon City, where the highway turns right at the Novaliches proper, areas of Amparo and Tala in Caloocan, San Jose del Monte, and ends at the roundabout with Villarama Road and Ipo Road in Bigte, Norzagaray, Bulacan. It is also the alternate route for going to Baliuag and up to Cagayan Valley via Cagayan Valley Road.
