Indang–Mendez Road

National Route 402 (N402) forms part of the Philippine highway network. It runs through the rural municipalities of Cavite.

Route description

N402 covers the Tanza to Tagaytay segment of Noveleta–Naic–Tagaytay Road, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Tanza to Naic

N402 starts at N64 ( Antero Soriano Highway) as Santa Cruz Street, a one-way street into the ''población'' of Tanza. In front of the entrance to the Diocesan Shrine of Saint Augustine, it then turns southwest as San Agustin Street, becomes a two-way street at its intersection with Santo Domingo Street. It meets the Biwas Roundabout past the Tanza Bridge, and once again meets Antero Soriano Highway at the Tanza Junction and proceeds towards Naic.

Naic to Indang

Within the ''población'' of Naic, N402 turns southwest towards J. Poblete Street (some of its segments is also known as Sabang Road) and then, in front of the Naic Church, veers southeast as Capt. Ciriaco Nazareno Street, which is one-way southbound up to Burgos Street. Past Governor's Drive at San Roque Crossing, it proceeds towards Indang as Naic–Indang Road. It then enters the ''población'' of Indang alternatively known as A. Mojica Street and ends at De Ocampo Street. It then continues as De Ocampo Street (one-way northbound/westbound), San Miguel Street, and A. Mabini Street (where it overlaps the Indang–Alfonso via Luksuhin Road, a tertiary road), veers south in front of Indang Church as San Gregorio Street, and continues as San Gregorio Extension.

Indang to Mendez

At the end of San Gregorio Extension, the road intersects Trece Martires–Indang Road and proceeds southeast towards Mendez as Indang–Mendez Road (Mendez–Buna–Indang Road). It then enters the municipality of Mendez, where it becomes C. Llamado Street and Osorio Street, both one-way southbound streets, before ending at the latter's junction with J.P. Rizal Street in Mendez ''población''.

Mendez to Tagaytay

At the junction of J.P. Rizal and Osorio Streets, the road proceeds southeast towards Tagaytay as Mendez–Tagaytay Road. The Tagaytay segment is also known as Tagaytay–Cavite via Mendez Road. It finally terminates at Tagaytay–Nasugbu Highway at Mendez Crossing, Tagaytay.

History

The direct predecessor of N402 is Highway 25, which connected Bacoor with Tagaytay via Naic especially during the 20th century.
