Tramo Street is a major local road in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. It runs north-south from Pablo Ocampo Street in the border with Malate district to Andrews Avenue in Maricaban district. It is interrupted by Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and the Manila MRT line which divides the road into two sections, the southern section running from EDSA to Andrews Avenue having been renamed to Aurora Boulevard.[1]
History
Tramo Road follows the abandoned tram line of the Manila Railroad Company (MRR, now Philippine National Railways) that stretched from Paco Station all the way to Cavite City.[2] The Cavite Line was built in 1908 but was heavily damaged during World War II. Subsequent development of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport has led to the closure of a big segment of the old line in Pasay and Parañaque. The line resumes in La Huerta where it is still also called Tramo Road running for 4.6 kilometers all the way to Zapote in Las Piñas en route to the line's terminus in Cavite. The road's name is Spanish for branch or section, referring to the Cavite Line which was a branch of the Manila tranvia or tramo de tranvía.
