It runs for 3.6 kilometers (2.2 miles) in a northeast-southwest direction from Nagtahan Bridge (now Mabini Bridge) across from Santa Mesa in the north to Roxas Boulevard in Malate in the south. It passes through Paco and Pandacan districts where it also serves as a truck route between Port Area and South Luzon Expressway. North of Nagtahan Bridge, the road continues as Lacson Avenue. It is designated as part of Circumferential Road 2. ==History== Its construction dates back to the early 19th century under Spanish rule when Quirino Avenue Extension was first laid out as ''Calle'' Canonigo in Paco.〔(History of San Fernando de Dilao ) published by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila; accessed 2013-10-09.〕 The road leading to Nagtahan Bridge then was a narrow street called ''Calle'' Luengo in Pandacan.〔(1945 Map of Central Manila ) published by BattleofManila.org; accessed 2013-10-09.〕 By the late 1920s, under the United States' Insular Government, the Paco-Santa Mesa Road was constructed which was later renamed Tomás Claudio Street. Following the Burnham Plan for Manila, the road was further extended to meet Harrison Boulevard that ran southwest from ''Calle'' Herrán (now Pedro Gil Street) up to Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard). The whole length of the highway that forms part of Circumferential Road 2 was later named in honor of the sixth President of the Philippines, Elpidio Quirino. 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「Quirino Avenue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
