Mabini Bridge, formerly and still referred to as Nagtahan Bridge, is a road bridge crossing the Pasig River between Nagtahan Street in Santa Mesa and Quirino Avenue in Paco to the west and Pandacan to the east. It was constructed between January and February 1945. It initially served as a pontoon bridge transporting U.S. Army jeeps and evacuating citizens caught in the crossfire during the Liberation of Manila.[2]
