Quezon Bridge, Girder bridge in Manila, Philippines
Quezon Bridge is a concrete girder bridge spanning the Pasig River and directly connecting two city districts. It features a traditional beam structure with traffic lanes for vehicles and a pedestrian walkway on the side.
Built in 1939, the bridge replaced an earlier suspension structure and was named after the sitting president at the time. It marked an important step in modernizing the city's river crossings.
The bridge links two major districts and serves as a daily crossing point for residents moving between different parts of the city. It shapes how people experience the riverfront and connect across Manila's neighborhoods.
The bridge can be crossed on foot or by vehicle during daytime hours, but expect congestion during rush periods. It is advisable to visit during early morning or late afternoon to experience less crowded conditions.
The construction was led by local engineers who applied modern building techniques of that era to the design. The project was notable for introducing updated methods to infrastructure development in the Philippines.
