Route description

As much like other diversion roads in the country, the road bypasses the town proper of Gandara. Travelers from Calbayog and most of the travelers from Luzon cut the travel time from Maharlika Highway, which goes into the town proper. Most of the road is likely a scenic route where it passes through the green hilly landscape and palm trees.

Intersections

The entire route is located in Gandara, Samar. Intersections are numbered by kilometer post, with the Rizal Park in Manila designated as kilometer 0.
