MacArthur Highway (N2/R-9)

The MacArthur Highway, officially the Manila North Road (MNR or MaNor), is a 684.855-kilometer (425.549 mi), two-to-six lane, national primary highway and tertiary highway in Luzon, Philippines, connecting Caloocan in Metro Manila to Aparri in Cagayan at the north. It is the second longest road in the Philippines, after Pan-Philippine Highway. It is primarily known as MacArthur Highway in segments from Caloocan to Urdaneta, Pangasinan, although it is also applied up to Ilocos Sur, and likewise called as Manila North Road for the entire length.

Comments

  • The most important thing the contact number of the company is available (AGUINALDO)
  • The McArthur Highway is only a "nickname" for a certain segment of the Manila North Road. I still have to see official documents officially declaring and renaming the entire length of the Manila North Road ( from Caloocan City Bonifacio Monument to Ilocos Norte ) as the McArthur Highway. McArthur Highway runs from Urdaneta City Pangasinan up to Caloocan City. It used to be referred to as Highway 3 or Route 3 in Military History. It got its nickname because when Gen. Douglas McArthur landed in Lingayen during the Liberation in 1944, they used Highway 3 or Route 3 to travel by road to Manila. In the 60's, people started calling that route as McArthur Highway. For us in the La Union, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte Provinces, we never referred to the Manila North Road aka National Highway as McArthur Highway. I wish WikiMapia would do some research on this.
