Ayala Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Manila, Philippines
The Ayala Bridge extends 142 meters across the Pasig River, connecting the districts of Ermita and San Miguel through its steel framework structure.
Constructed in 1872 by Don Jacobo Zóbel y Zangroniz, the bridge transformed into the first steel bridge in the Philippines during its 1908 reconstruction.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority closes the bridge each January 9 to accommodate the Feast of the Black Nazarene procession.
The bridge underwent extensive rehabilitation in 2015, which included raising the structure by 70 centimeters to enhance protection against seismic events.
The bridge spans over the western tip of Isla de Convalecencia while carrying Circumferential Road 1 and National Route 180 across the Pasig River.
