The Carlos P. Garcia National Highway, also known as Davao City Diversion Road is a 18-kilometer (11 mi) two-to-six lane secondary highway that serves as a diversion route from the city proper.[1] It also serves as one of the major roads in Davao when traversing towards Tagum.

Currently, the highway serves as the main diversion road for Davao while the new bypass road and expressway is under construction.[2][3]

This highway is a designated component of the National Route 913 (N913) of the Philippine highway network.

History

In 1955, Executive Order No. 113 was issued by former President Ramon Magsaysay, declaring the highway as a national secondary road.[4] It was declared a national secondary road due to the recommendation of the former National Transportation Board. Therefore, the highway is currently maintained by Department of Public Works and Highways as it was strengthened into a Department Order No. 90 in 1977.[5]
