Route description

The street begins at N. Bacalso Avenue in Barangay Basak San Nicolas beside Super Metro Basak, passes along the junction of G. Elorde Street (formerly known as Ganciang Street) which divides the said barangay with Barangay Punta Princesa and proceeds towards the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes.
