Candelaria Bypass Road, also known as Candelaria Diversion Road, is a 7.5-kilometer (4.7 mi) national secondary road in the town of Candelaria, Quezon. Inaugurated in September 2012, it bypasses the town proper of Candelaria. It was initiated as a project of former Quezon 2nd district Representative Irvin Alcala as an effort to decongest traffic at Pan-Philippine Highway.[2]

The entire road is designated as National Route 609 (N609) of the Philippine highway network.[1]

Route description

The two- to four-lane bypass road bypasses the town proper of Candelaria. Travelers thus cut the travel time from Pan-Philippine Highway (Maharlika Highway), which traverses into the town proper.

It starts at the Pan-Philippine Highway in Barangay Bukal Sur, turning southwest to Barangays Masin Sur, Pahinga Norte, Malabanban Sur and Mangilag Sur. It intersects the San Juan–Candelaria Road at Malabanban Sur and crosses the Philippine National Railway track in Mangilag Sur. It reunites with Maharlika Highway at its eastern end.

Intersections

The entire route is located in Candelaria, Quezon. Intersections are numbered by kilometer post, with the Rizal Park in Manila designated as kilometer 0.[1]
