One of the bridges crossing the Pasig
River, connecting Quiapo to Ermita. This photo was taken inside the Arroceros
Forest Park.
Spanning the mighty Rio del Pasig, the
Quezon bridge, built in the 1930’s replaced the aging Colgante Foot Bridge.
Designed in the prevailing Art Deco style, the bridge echoed the Sydney Harbor
Bridge which no doubt was its inspiration. It is interesting to note that this bridge was
designed by Gustave Eiffel, who is famous for designing the Eiffel Tower in
Paris
