J.P. Rizal Avenue

J.P. Rizal Avenue, also known as J.P. Rizal Street, is a major local avenue in Makati and Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a contour collector road on the south bank of the Pasig River that runs east–west from Pateros Bridge at the Taguig–Pateros boundary to its intersection with Zobel Roxas, Delpan, and Tejeron Streets at the Makati–Manila boundary. It is a component of Radial Road 4 (R-4). The avenue was named after the Philippines' national hero, Dr. José P. Rizal.

Route description
, Taguig The road starts at Pateros Bridge, which connects Taguig and Pateros, as a continuation of Gen. B. Morcilla Street past the Taguig River. It meanders through the residential communities of barangays Comembo, West Rembo, East Rembo, and Cembo. The road continues past Kalayaan Avenue. The Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) then crosses above the avenue; one vehicle cannot go into C-5 directly from J.P. Rizal Avenue except when using Kalayaan Avenue as a conduit. It intersects with Lawton Avenue just past the University of Makati campus, which connects it to Bonifacio Global City nearby. The avenue enters Makati at Guadalupe Nuevo as it crosses the San Jose Creek past the Guadalupe ferry terminal. Crossing under the Guadalupe Bridge of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), the road runs through Guadalupe Viejo and Rockwell Center. West of Estrella Street, it enters the Makati Población area, passing through the Makati Poblacion Park before coming to an intersection with Makati Avenue. The road gradually pulls away from the river, continuing on a straight path to Chino Roces Avenue and A.P. Reyes Street in barangays Olympia and Tejeros. The section from Makati Avenue up to Pasong Tirad carries one-way westbound traffic on daytime and early evening, covering rush hours. Located in this section are Makati City Hall and Circuit Makati, formerly the site of Santa Ana Race Track. The avenue then curves northwest past Pasong Tirad before coming to its western terminus at Zobel Roxas and Delpan Streets at the city's border with Manila, continuing as Tejeron Street. ==History==
History
The road is the old main road of Makati, once a municipality of the Province of Manila and later of Rizal. It also traversed a military reservation (now known as Fort Bonifacio) and the area that was previously part of Pateros. The first Municipal Building of Makati, the Presidencia, was also built along the road in 1918 at Plaza Trece de Agosto; it is now occupied today by the Museo ng Makati. The road was historically part of the Manila East Road and Calle Tejeron. Its segment from Malapad-na-bato (now East Rembo, the present-day location of Napindan Hydraulic Control System) westwards was also part of Route 21 or Highway 21 that linked Manila to Calamba, Laguna by circumscribing Laguna de Bay through Rizal, especially during the American colonial era. Its segment veering south approaching Pateros poblacion from Malapad-na-Bato was built in the first half of the 20th century. ==Intersections==
