QUEZON BRIDGE

Quezon Bridge is a combined arch and prestressed concrete girder bridge that connects
the Manila districts of Quiapo and Ermita across the Pasig River in the Philippines.
The bridge, which was constructed in 1939 under the supervision of the engineering firm Pedro
Siochi and Company, replaced the Puente Colgante. Quezon Bridge was designed as an Art
Deco style arch bridge and was inspired from the design of Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was
named in honor of Manuel Luis Quezon, president of the Philippines at the time of its
construction.
JONES BRIDGE
The William A. Jones Memorial Bridge, commonly known as the Jones Bridge, is an arched
girder bridge that spans the Pasig River in the City of Manila, Philippines. It is named after the
United States legislator William Atkinson Jones, who served as the chairman of the U.S. Insular
Affairs House Committee which had previously exercised jurisdiction over the Philippines and
the principal author of the Jones Law that gave the country a legislative autonomy from the
United States. Built to replace Puente de España (Bridge of Spain), the bridge connects Quintin
Paredes Road at the Binondo district to Padre Burgos Avenue at the Ermita district.
