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.
