![[Ilonggo Notes] 11 bridges over the Iloilo Esplanade](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2022/12/8/rapplerdotcom/ilonggo-notes-11-bridges-over-the-iloilo-esplanade-ilonggo-notes-11-bridges-over-the-iloilo-esplanade-1600599671927410706.webp)
Plus, here are some suggestions for how the Esplanades can be maximized!
The Esplanades of Iloilo City, a multi-awarded 10-kilometer “linear park,” runs alongside the Iloilo River and some tributaries, meandering through five city districts: Molo, Mandurriao, La Paz, Lapuz, and the City proper. Now numbering nine distinct sections, the Esplanades serve as a flood control/drainage system, mangrove sanctuary, and a landscaped park with its own bike lanes, walkways, and favorite spots for fishing and boating.
The Esplanades are numbered sequentially, the odd numbers on your left, if you’re facing the direction of the city proper; the even numbers on the parallel side across the river. Continuing along Esplanade 1 Extension and the skate park, there are also two bridges, yet unnamed: the pedestrian bridge , which connects the skate park to Esplanade 3, and the bridge on Efrain Treñas Avenue . Both bridges are colorful and cross a tributary, the Dungon Creek.
Towards the end is Forbes Bridge , constructed in 1908 and named after William Cameron Forbes, the governor-general then. With its classic design and arched culverts, it is claimed to be the oldest concrete bridge in the country. It connects the City proper to the La Paz and Jaro districts, and is now painted with leaf-like designs. You can cross on both ends of the Forbes Bridge; the shortest length of the Esplanades is just beside the Water District’s building, just about 100 meters.
First, put up all-weather information boards – maps of all the Esplanades, roads and bridges, landmarks and attractions, even distances to certain points of interest. “You are here,” or even “Did you know?” signage can be posted, with engaging questions. A fine arts or architecture student group can do this.
