Marikina - Infanta Highway (N59/R-6)


The Marikina–Infanta Highway, also known as Marilaque Highway, as well as its former name Marcos Highway, Marilaque Road or Marikina-Infanta Road, is a scenic mountain 117.5-kilometer (73.0 mi) highway that connects Metro Manila with Infanta, Quezon in the Philippines. Motorists colloquially refer to the road as Marilaque Highway.

The Marikina–Infanta Highway starts at the intersection with Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, near its boundary with Marikina, as a physical continuation of Aurora Boulevard. It traverses the Marikina Valley and passes through Antipolo, where it intersects the Sumulong Highway at the Masinag Junction. After Masinag, the road starts its ascent towards the Sierra Madre mountain range passing through Tanay, Santa Maria in Laguna, Real and finally Infanta in Quezon. The road is famous for the frequent motorcycle racers who use the curvy mountainous roads for joyrides, frequently resulting in major accidents.
