Alternative names

The highway is also known as National Highway for being such. It forms part of the Calamba to Pagsanjan segment of the Calamba–Sta. Cruz–Famy Junction Road.[1] Its section in Calauan and Victoria is also known as Masapang Highway (misspelled or also known as Maspang Highway), apparently after the barangay of the same name in Victoria where its eastern end is located.[4][5] At the town proper of Pagsanjan, it is locally known as J.P. Rizal Street or simply as Rizal Street.

History

Most of the highway existed back to the American colonial era as part of Highway 21 that linked the city of Manila to the provinces of Rizal and Laguna by circumscribing Laguna de Bay.[6][7] Roads bypassing the poblacions of Santa Cruz, Calauan, and Bay were later built to form the present-day highway.[8]
