In Bogo, the road turns west towards San Remigio. At a junction with the Antonio y De Pio Highway (N820) inSan Remigio proper, the roads turns north, initially following the northeastern coast of Cebu.

The entire road historically forms part of Cebu Island'sHighway 1 orRoute 1 during the 20th century.[5][6]
The road's eastern section in Cebu City was historically known asCalle Enrile (in honor ofGovernor-GeneralPasqual Enrile y Alcedo) and laterCalle de los Martires (for being the site whereKatipuneros and civilians were ordered killed after theBattle of Tres de Abril in 1898). On March 23, 1964, it was renamed to M.J. Cuenco Avenue after Cebuano politicianMariano Jesús Cuenco, by virtue of City Ordinance No. 462.[7]
