Padre Burgos Avenue, also known as Padre Burgos Street, is a 14-lane thoroughfare in Manila, Philippines.
The road was named after one of the martyred priests, Jose Burgos.[citation needed] It is a road in the center of the city providing access to several important thoroughfares like Taft Avenue, Rizal Avenue, Roxas Boulevard, and Quezon Boulevard. The avenue is a component of Circumferential Road 1 (C-1) of Manila's highway system and National Route 150 (N150) and National Route 170 (N170) of the Philippine highway network. The Manila City Hall can be accessed using this road, as can the Rizal Park and Intramuros.
The road starts from the southern banks of the Pasig River at Liwasang Bonifacio, where MacArthur Bridge, Jones Bridge, and Quezon Bridge merge. It continues south and it will branch to two, Taft Avenue and itself when it reaches Rizal Park. It will then turn sharply right, intersecting with Finance Drive, the major thoroughfare of Rizal Park which leads to Ayala Boulevard and eventually to Mendiola Street, therefore the other parts of the C-1. Padre Burgos Avenue ends with a junction with Roxas Boulevard, Bonifacio Drive, and Katigbak Drive.[citation needed]
