AKA Capas - Botolan Road or Capas - Botolan Bypass Road.

The construction of a new road in Zambales is ongoing. This will provide paths in different part of Central Luzon. The Iba-Tarlac road is Zambales' Gateway to Economic Development. It will reduce the time in traveling. The new road will connect the Olongapo-Bugallon road in Botolan going to Capas, Tarlac by the foot of Baracbac Bridge. The total length of the road is 89 kilometers, the 52 kilometers will pass through Zambales and the remaining 39 kilometers will be extended to the Tarlac region. When the project is completed, a link will be established from Zambales to Tarlac, Pampanga and Nueva Ecija. A way will also be constructed to connect it to Subic-Clark Industrial Zone. It will also serve as an alternate route to Gapan-San Fernando-Olongapo intersection. Hercules Manglicmot, Zambales District Engineer, said that the needed amount for the road project completion is P7 billion. The project will also lead to the construction of 20 bridges with a distance of 2.5 kilometers. The said project already spent 195 million for the leveling of the 6 kilometer gravel road and the finishing of an 8 kilometer concrete road.
