Wright–Taft Road is a road crossing a part of Eastern Samar and the province of Samar. Its designated route number is 674. The highway originates from an intersection with the N670 highway in Taft, Eastern Samar before entering the province of Samar and crossing the municipalities of Hinabangan and Paranas before ending in the Pan-Philippine Highway. The highway was planned in 1908, with a portion being finished in 1928. In the following decades, the road was paved and rehabilitated. Because of multiple typhoons, it has also been closed.
