Maysan Road 3.63

Maysan Road is one of the main east-west thoroughfares of Valenzuela, Philippines. It is a narrow street with only one lane in each direction making it one of the most congested streets in northern Metro Manila. It runs for approximately 4.5km from MacArthur Highway in Malinta village, past the North Luzon Expressway intersection, into North Caloocan. The road connects the central Valenzuela villages of Malinta, Maysan, Paso de Blas and Bagbaguin. It was the main access road for vehicles going to Valenzuela and the Manila North Harbor from the North Luzon Expressway prior to the construction of Mindanao Avenue Extension (NLEX Segment 9/NLEX-Karuhatan Link) which parallels it to the south.NameThe street is named for the village it passes near MacArthur Highway. Maysan, in turn, comes from the Filipino word "maisan" which means "corn field." It is also known by several different names depending on the area it goes through (e.g., Paso de Blas Road in Paso de Blas and Bagbaguin Road in Bagbaguin). It is also sometimes called Malinta Road being the road that originates in the village of Malinta that goes to and from the North Luzon Expressway Malinta Interchange (now called Paso De Blas Interchange).
