History
Ayala Bridge was originally a wooden structure when it was first built in 1872 by Don Jacobo Zóbel de Ayala of Ayala Corporation. Steel replaced wood as main material in 1908, and Ayala Bridge became the first steel bridge in the Philippines. Its current form is attributed reconstruction in the 1930s.
Ayala Bridge was closed to the public in early 2015 to undergo rehabilitation and structural repairs to ensure structural integrity. It was raised by 70 centimetres, enabling it to withstand a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. The bridge fully reopened to the motorists on November 2015.
