National Route 305 (N305) forms a part of the Philippine highway network. It is a secondary road that acts as a four-lane spur road that spans 1.7 kilometers (1.1 mi) and consists two major streets in Olongapo, serving as the main road of Olongapo city proper.

Route description

[edit]

N305 was constructed by the United States Government when the Olongapo was a Naval Reservation. U.S. Navy personnel used the route to provide access to Manila while the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay existed in Olongapo.

Magsaysay Drive

[edit]

N305 starts at the Magsaysay Bridge as its southern terminus, a pedestrian walkway that used to be a roadway for vehicles, then provided access to the Subic Bay Freeport Zone until 2011 when SM City Olongapo was built. The route is entirely a one-way road for northbound vehicles. Magsaysay Drive ends at the Friendship Rotunda, a roundabout intersection that was built in the 1970s.

Rizal Avenue

Going further north, N305 continues the route after the Friendship Rotunda, as Rizal Avenue. the Bajac-Bajac Bridge also crosses the route. N305 terminates north at the Ulo ng Apo roundabout – intersecting with other major roads of Jose Abad Santos Avenue (N3) and Olongapo–Bugallon Road (N306).
