It is a 6-8 lane median divided avenue that runs approximately 2.9 kilometers (1.8 miles) from Tayuman Street in Santa Cruz to Nagtahan Bridge in Santa Mesa. It is a component of Circumferential Road 2. ==History== The avenue was originally named Forbes Street or Governor Forbes Street, after William Cameron Forbes, governor-general of the Philippines, under whose administration the road was begun. It was extended south to meet ''Calle Nagtahan'' (Nagtahan Street) at the boundary of Sampaloc, San Miguel and Santa Mesa at the old Carriedo Rotonda, when the pontoon bridge of Nagtahan that connected it to Pandacan south of the Pasig River was built. Nagtahan Bridge was renamed to Mabini Bridge in 1967,〔(Proclamation No. 234, s. 1967 ) published by the Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines; accessed 2013-10-16.〕 while in 1971, Governor Forbes Street was renamed to Arsenio H. Lacson Street, after the Manila mayor of the 1950s.〔(Republic Act No. 6215 ) published by Chan Robles; accessed 2013-10-16.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lacson Avenue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
