Tramo Street is a major local road in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. It runs north-south from Ocampo Street, which is on the border with Malate, Manila, to Andrews Avenue in Maricaban. It is interrupted by Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and the MRT Line 3, which divides the road into two sections. The southern section from EDSA to Andrews Avenue has been renamed Aurora Boulevard.
The street's name is Spanish for branch or line, referring to the Cavite Line, a branch of the Manila tranvía (tramo del tranvía).
History
Tramo Street follows the abandoned line (the Cavite Line) of the Manila Railroad Company (now Philippine National Railways) that stretched from Paco to Naic, Cavite.[2] The Cavite Line was built in 1908, and train services ceased in 1936. Subsequent development of Manila International Airport led to the closure of a large segment of the old line in Pasay and Parañaque. The line resumes in La Huerta, where it is still named Tramo Road, running 4.6 kilometers (2.9 mi) to C-5 Extension in Las Piñas and continues as Fruto Santos Avenue. Streets of the same name, also occupying the former right-of-way of the old railroad line, are found in Bacoor, Tanza, and Naic in Cavite.
Until its opening in 2003, the EDSA-Tramo flyover was constructed along EDSA and the street's Aurora Boulevard section in Pasay to provide westbound motorists from the former with direct access to the latter.[3] In the early 2020s, the Tramo on-ramp to the NAIA Expressway was constructed at the middle of Aurora Boulevard until it was opened in 2024.[4]
