Laoag City

Getting to Laoag City

Laoag is at the terminus of the Manila North Road (MacArthur Highway, Route 2), and the Pan-Philippine Highway (Asian Highway 26, Maharlika Highway). Both roads converge in the vicinity of the Ilocos Norte Provincial Capitol. To alleviate traffic in the city center, a bypass road has been built to the west, from the boundary with Bacarra to Airport Road leading to Paoay.
