TheAsin–Nangalisan–San Pascual Road (also known as theBaguio–Tubao Road,Tubao–Asin Road or simply,Asin Road[a]) is a major road inLa Union andBenguet, Philippines, serving as an alternative route toBaguio.[1] This road is dangerous, and has tunnels along the way which used to be intended for rail services from Aringay to Baguio.[2] The road officially opened to public on December 17, 2018.[3]
The road leads to the Asin Hot Springs in Sitio Asin in Nangalisan,Tuba, Benguet.[1] Other resorts and hotsprings along the way include Pooten's Resort, Palm Grove Hot Springs and Mountains Resort, Riverview Water Park, and Neverland Mountain Resort.
The segment of the road in Baguio forms part ofNational Route 234 (N234) andNational Route 233 (N233) of thePhilippine highway network. The rest of the road leading toTubao, La Union remains unnumbered and classified as a tertiary national road. Recently, due toMarcos Highway suffering heavy traffic, the road was rehabilitated to serve as an alternative route down to La Union, but there are some more adjustments left.
The Asin–Nangalisan–San Pascual Road serves as an alternative route toBaguio, and is also the fourth that leads to Baguio from the northwestern lowlands of Luzon. The road also helps decongest the traffic inMarcos Highway, despite being slightly longer than the said road.
The road starts at the junction ofMarcos Highway (N208) inTubao, La Union as a four-lane road. Its features have many of the lightning and reflectorized signages and bus terminals. The Anduyan Bridge, which spans 360 meters (1,180 ft), carries along the route. After crossing the span, the road is narrowed to two lanes (one per direction) upon traversing the higher elevation that contains sharp curves and steep elevation upon enteringBenguet province.
Intersections are numbered by kilometer posts, withRizal Park inManila designated askilometer zero. Some intersections are also marked by their relative distance from Baguio's kilometer zero, located in the city's Plaza Garden.
