Governors Drive is a major east–west thoroughfare in Huntsville, Alabama. It follows U.S. Route 431 (US-431) in east Huntsville and State Route 53 (SR-53) in west Huntsville. Governors Drive is one of the main entrance points to the city from the east, carrying on average approximately 48,000 vehicles a day across Monte Sano Mountain.




Road description



From the east, US-431 travels north up Monte Sano Mountain where it meets Dug Hill Road and becomes Governors Drive. From there, the four-lane highway turns to the west and meets Monte Sano Boulevard at the top of the mountain providing access to Monte Sano State Park. The highway then continues down the mountain, intersecting multiple surface streets along the way. Once down the mountain, the road widens to seven lanes where it intersects California Street and travels through the medical district intersecting with Franklin Street, Whitesburg Drive and Madison Street which provides direct access to Huntsville Hospital Emergency Room. The next intersection, Gallatin Street leads to the main entrance of Huntsville Hospital along with the new Twickenham Square development.
Continuing to the west, Governors Drive intersects Harvard Drive where the new Downtown Gateway is being constructed. This extension of Harvard Drive will provide a direct connection to Big Spring Park and Downtown Huntsville. The road then travels south of the oldest Baptist Church in Alabama, the First Baptist Church of Huntsville, past the well-known Eggbeater Jesus then crosses over a former Louisville and Nashville Railroad rail line and intersects Monroe Street, one of the main access points to Downtown, providing access to the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library. The road then meets Memorial Parkway at which point US-431 turns to the north; Governors Drive continues through the intersection to the west and joins SR-53. The highway narrows down to five lanes at Clinton Avenue, the main access point to Downtown for West Huntsville. Finally the highway continues to the west to meet with Interstate 565 (I-565) and Jordan Lane, where SR-53 continues to the north.

History


Prior to 1955, before Memorial Parkway was constructed, Governors Drive was two separate streets. West of Whitesburg Drive, Governors Drive was known as Fifth Avenue and east of Whitesburg Drive, it was named Florida Short Route. Fifth Avenue ended at Whitesburg Drive and Florida Short Route became Longwood Drive at Whitesburg Drive, one block south of Fifth Avenue. US-431 traveled along Florida Short Route and turned north at Whitesburg Drive, traveling through downtown.
When Memorial Parkway was built as a downtown bypass, US-431 needed to access the Parkway; so these two streets were connected and to allow US-431 to flow directly to Memorial Parkway. As a growing Huntsville consolidated, hundreds of streets were unified and renamed in 1956. The name Governors Drive was chosen for this road to honor the nine Alabama governors associated with Madison County history.
Prior to the construction of Interstate 565 in the early 1990s, Governors Drive extended further west, connecting to Slaughter Road just outside the city of Madison. The interstate removed over five miles of roadway, cutting Governors Drive nearly in half. Portions of the road still exist while other portions were relocated to make room for the interstate highway. From Slaughter Road to the east, Governors Drive took on the name Madison Boulevard. A two lane road connecting Madison Boulevard to Old Madison Pike was created as a service road and took on the name Governors West. The roadway from Research Park Boulevard east to Jordan Lane was removed completely as the interstate was placed.




Transportation


Access to shuttle buses provided by the city of Huntsville are available along Governors Drive.

The Juanito R. Remulla Sr. Road, formerly and still commonly referred to as Governor's Drive, is a two-to-nine lane, 58.3-kilometer (36.2 mi) network of primary, secondary and tertiary highways and bridges traversing through the central cities and municipalities of the province of Cavite, Philippines. It is the widest among the three major highways located in the province, the others being the Aguinaldo and Antero Soriano Highways.
The road forms part of National Route 65 (N65), National Route 651 (N651), National Route 403 (N403), and National Route 405 (N405) of the Philippine highway network. A part of the road between the N403 and N405 section is a tertiary road and is unnumbered.




History



The origin of the highway could be traced back to three separate roads: Dasmariñas-Carmona-Biñang Road from Dasmariñas to Carmona, Naic-Quintana-Junction Dasmariñas-Silang from Naic to Dasmariñas, and an old provincial road linking the municipal centers of Naic, Maragondon, and Ternate. The first two were classified as secondary roads in the 1950s. The provincial road's segment from Naic to Maragondon was designated as Route 301, while its segment from Maragondon to Ternate was designated as Route 332. Additional sections were later added to form the present-day Governor's Drive.
By virtue of Republic Act No. 11047, enacted on June 29, 2018, the entire highway was renamed as Governor Juanito R. Remulla Sr. Road, after the former governor of Cavite.




Route description


The eastern terminus of the highway is at the Carmona Bridge at the Carmona–Biñan boundary. It traverses Carmona, General Mariano Alvarez, Silang, Dasmariñas, General Trias, Trece Martires, Tanza, Naic, Maragondon, and Ternate.
The highway is mostly concrete paved, while some other parts are currently being rehabilitated and being overlaid with asphalt.

Governor's Drive towards the provincial boundary with Laguna starts near SM City Dasmariñas at the Pala-pala intersection with Aguinaldo Highway. It then winds eastward, as it nears Manila Memorial Park, just on the side of the highway. It intersects Paliparan Road and then enters General Mariano Alvarez through a bridge on the Dasmariñas–GMA boundary. It passes through GMA's town center and its boundary with Silang before curving northeast at the GMA–Carmona boundary. At Carmona, it mostly runs through the town's industrial areas and bypasses the town proper on the north as the segment that is officially known as Carmona Diversion Road. It soon crosses the South Luzon Expressway and enters Biñan, where it continues as General Malvar Street.




= Dasmariñas to Ternate

Governor's Drive toward Ternate starts also at the intersection with Aguinaldo Highway at Pala-Pala, near Robinsons Place Dasmariñas. It is mostly a 6-lane highway when it runs westward towards General Trias. The highway passes through the western barangays of Dasmariñas, and then enters General Trias. It soon intersects Arnaldo Highway near the San Miguel and Purefoods-Hormel factories. The highway soon crosses Crisanto Mendoza de los Reyes Avenue at Manggahan. Then, it enters Trece Martires at Pulunan Bridge. Afterwards, it passes over Trece Martires city proper and continues toward Naic.
After passing Trece Martires, Governor's Drive continues westward on a slightly winding route toward Naic. It soon enters Naic, turns left toward Maragondon, where it turns away from the municipal proper. It enters Ternate, where it veers southwest towards the bridge carrying it over the Maragondon River. It then climbs the Mounts Palay-Palay–Mataas-na-Gulod Protected Landscape and ends at its intersection with Caylabne Road. The highway continues towards Nasugbu, Batangas as the Ternate–Nasugbu Road.
