Quezon Boulevard

Quezon Boulevard was developed as part of a national road plan to connect the government center of Manila in Rizal Park to the proposed new capital on the Diliman estate. It was built in 1939 over the old Calle Regidor, which was widened by demolishing all the buildings and houses on its east side and eventually combined with the old Calle Martin Ocampo.[2] It was also in 1939 when the old Puente Colgante, which connected the boulevard south over the Pasig River to Padre Burgos Avenue in Ermita, was replaced by the modern steel arch bridge, Quezon Bridge.

During Spanish colonial times, Calle Regidor was called Calle Santa Rosa, and Calle Martin Ocampo was Calle Concepcion. They were renamed in the early 1900s after La Solidaridad writer Antonio Maria Regidor and El Renacimiento and La Vanguardia editor Martin Ocampo, respectively. The new boulevard that replaced them was named after Commonwealth President Manuel Luis Quezon.

Quezon Boulevard begins at the foot of Quezon Bridge by the riverside Quinta Market on Carlos Palanca Sr. Street (formerly Calle Echague) as a continuation of Padre Burgos Avenue from Ermita and Intramuros. It intersects with Arlegui Street, which leads to San Miguel district and the Malacañang Palace complex, and Hidalgo Street (former Calle San Sebastian) which leads to San Sebastian Church, before arriving at Plaza Miranda and Quiapo Church, site of the annual Feast of the Black Nazarene. The boulevard then runs into a junction with Gonzalo Puyat Street (former Calle Raon) which leads west to Santa Cruz Church in Santa Cruz, and heads for Sampaloc district at the intersection with Recto Avenue. It ends at the junction with Lerma Street where it continues as Alfonso Mendoza Street (former Calle Andalucía), which heads north to the San Lazaro Tourism and Business Park.

The entire route is located in Manila. Rizal Park is designated as kilometer zero.
