Andrews Avenue
Andrews Avenue is a major east-west thoroughfare in Metro Manila, Philippines that functions as a metropolitan linkage between Pasay and Makati.〔(Roads and Transport ) published by the Pasay City Government; accessed 2013-10-14.〕 It runs underneath the under-construction NAIA Expressway almost parallel to Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) to the north connecting Roxas Boulevard and Domestic Road near Bay City with South Luzon Expressway near Newport City. It has an arterial extension continuing 3.4 kilometers (2 miles) northeast to Fifth Avenue and McKinley Road in Bonifacio Global City known as Lawton Avenue.
Andrews Avenue also serves as the main feeder to Ninoy Aquino International Airport from the east and west and is the main access road to Resorts World Manila.
==History==
The avenue was formerly called Nichols Field Road,〔(Manila American Cemetery and Memorial ) published by American Battle Monuments Commission; accessed 2013-10-14.〕 later shortened to Nichols Road, after the US air base in Pasay which it served. Nichols Field, in turn, was named after Captain Henry E. Nichols, a US Navy commander of monitor ship ''USS Monadnock'' during the Philippine-American War.〔(Nichols Field - Ensconced in Philippine aviation history ) published by Lufthansa Technik Philippines; accessed 2013-10-14.〕〔(Captain Henry Nichols died on the USS Monadnock in 1899 ) published by Ancestry.com; accessed 2013-10-14.〕 The air base was built in 1912〔(Villamor Air Base ) published by the Philippine Air Force; accessed 2013-10-14.〕 and the road to Fort McKinley (now Fort Bonifacio) and to Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard) was constructed shortly thereafter. The whole stretch from Dewey to Fort McKinley was named Nichols Road.〔(Series S501, U.S. Army Map Service, 1954- ) published by the University of Texas at Austin; accessed 2013-10-14.〕
At present, the Makati and Fort Bonifacio portion is named Lawton Avenue. In Pasay, the longest portion has been renamed to Andrews Avenue, after Frank Maxwell Andrews, the United States Army general officer during World War II and one of the founders of the United States Army Air Force.
