The scenic arch bridge, Quirino Bridge, traversing the Abra River, is located between two beautiful mountains and is built to honor then-President Elpidio Quirino. The old bridge, an iconic symbol of Ilocos Sur, is currently preserved as a tourist attraction.
It was once partly destroyed by super typhoon Feria, hence a different-looking third quarter portion. On December 2007, Chinese engineers and a local construction company started to build a new 456 meter-long replacement a stone's throw from the original bridge. It was officially opened by then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on December 30, 2009.
