From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quirino–Lopez Bridge is a girder bridge that crosses the Iloilo River in Iloilo City, Philippines. It connects the districts of City Proper and Lapuz.[2] Completed in 1967, the bridge spans a southbound canal historically used for sugar transport. The canal also served as a port for sea-going vessels that ferried sugar cane, originating from a facility built by Nicholas Loney in 1926.
