The Benguet–Nueva Vizcaya Road, (also known as the Baguio–Aritao Road or Baguio–Nueva Vizcaya Road), is the road system that connects the provinces of Benguet and Nueva Vizcaya in the Philippines.[1]

The entire road forms part of National Route 110 (N110) of the Philippine highway network. Starting in the junction of Bambang–Aritao road, it traverses the municipalities of Aritao and Kayapa in Nueva Vizcaya. The road itself traverses the municipalities of Bokod and Itogon in Benguet. The road ends in Pacdal Circle, near Wright Park in Baguio.

Route description[]

The road is one of the major access roads to the city of Baguio for travelers coming from Nueva Vizcaya and the Cagayan Valley region. It is also longer than Asin–Nangalisan–San Pascual Road, Aspiras–Palispis Highway (formerly Marcos Highway), Kennon Road, and Naguilian Road, which is 104 kilometers.

The road passes through Ambuklao Dam, and generally follows the Santa Cruz River (a tributary of the Magat River) in Nueva Vizcaya and the Agno River in Benguet.

History[]

The road was expected to be completed by September 2006. It is an upgrade from the old road, making it an all-weather path. The road cost 2.1 billion, and was a joint project by the Philippine government and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.[2]
