National Route 9 (N9) is a 416-kilometer (258 mi), two to six major primary route network connecting the provinces of connecting the provinces ofAgusan del Norte,[1]Misamis Oriental,[2][3]Lanao del Norte,[4][5] andZamboanga del Sur.[6]
During theAmerican colonial era, N9's section from Butuan to Iligan was part ofHighway 1 in Mindanao, while the section from Butuan to Tukuran was part ofHighway 7.[7] By 2014, these highways were designated by theDepartment of Public Works and Highways as N9.
The highway runs along the northern coast ofMindanao fromButuan,Agusan del Norte toTukuran,Zamboanga del Sur. Its section fromBalingoan,Misamis Oriental, the location of a ferry port toCamiguin, toCagayan de Oro is part of the Central Nautical Highway of thePhilippine Nautical Highway System. Its section from Alae Bridge 2 atTagoloan–Cagayan de Oro boundary to Marcos Bridge, which crosses theCagayan de Oro River, in Cagayan de Oro is part of the Mindanao spur of thePan-Philippine Highway,[8] although the signs that are on the kilometer markers are actually N10/AH26 signs, indicating that the latter route is on a concurrency with N9.
National Route 9 starts in Ampayon,Butuan asButuan–Cagayan de Oro–Iligan Road in a Y-junction stemmed from theDaang Maharlika. An 88-meter (96 yd) section of the latter refers a side of the triangle roundabout as part of N9. It is unknown if this is a mistake or not. The other side is named Butuan–Cagayan de Oro–Iligan Road. It passes through urban portions of the city and is the main highway for the city. It meets a Y-junction which stems a diversion road calledMayor Democrito D. Plaza II Avenue (N951). It enters a roundabout with the aforementioned highway and Bancasi Airport Road (N954).
The road enters the province of Agusan del Norte and traverses through the towns ofBuenavista, the industrialNasipit andCarmen. The region ends in the Carmen-Magsaysay border.

N9 and its assigned highway reaches the municipality of Magsaysay and reaches a sharp turn where the direction goes south. It is a road with many turns. After reachingGingoog, the road is met with theGingoog–Claveria–Villanueva Road, a diversion that ignores most of the towns in the eastern side of the province. After traversing through many municipalities, it is met again with the western end of the aforementioned road. Upon reaching the city ofCagayan de Oro, it reunites with the Asian Highway 26, albeit it is aspurroute. It also reaches the junction of a coastal highway that ends inOpol instead of the eponymous town. It also gives access to the port road (N946) and two other streets designated as N945. It traverses to the industrial areas of Opol andEl Salvador. It passes through multiple more towns includingLaguindingan, which is the location of a non-national airport road. Upon reachingGitagum, a road to the sharp left turn is actually the true route of the Butuan–Cagayan de Oro–Iligan Road because it gives access to its municipal hall and a part of thepoblacion, the former road is actually a diversion road. After more towns have been passed, N9 reaches the Misamis Oriental-Iligan border, thus ending the Butuan–Cagayan de Oro–Iligan Road.
N9 starts in Iligan asMisamis Oriental–Maria Cristina Boundary Road. Upon reaching the urban area of the city, it is met with a diversion road (N956-1) that ends near the N77 junction. Once it enters the area containing Overton, the route changes to N77 where it goes left while N9's physical continuation is the Overton–Buru-un Road. This section ends in the border with Iligan and Linamon.
The Lanao del Norte portion of the road is entirely the Linamon–Zamboanga Road. It enters multiple towns including the provincial capitalTubod, which is home to a port road (N957) andPanguil Bay Bridge, which connectsTangub and significantly cuts travel time betweenMisamis Occidental and the aforementioned province.
After reaching Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur, the road's name changes toLanao–Pagadian–Zamboanga City Road. N9 ends during a T-junction between the N1 section of said highway and Karomatan–Tukuran Junction Road, which is also a part of the latter route.
Intersections are numbered by kilometer post, with theRizal Park in the city ofManila designated askilometer 0.
