Named after the United States legislator William Atkinson Jones and built to replace Puente de Espana or the bridge of spain, the William A. Jones Memorial Bridge or better known as the Jones Bridge, is an arched girder bridge that crosses the Pasig River in the City of Manila, Philippines.

Designed by Filipino Architect Juan M. Arellano and built in the year 1920 by the Manila government, the first bridge did not survive more than 23 years as it had been destroyed by Japanese troops during the Second World War, furthermore, “Democracy”—one of the four statues of the bridge was also permanently destroyed. The U.S and the Department of Philippine Public Works reconstructed the bridge by the year 1946, with its ornaments removed but the three arches and two piers retained.

It is also worth noting that the City Government of Manila began a rehabilitation project to reimpose the Jones Bridge to its near-original design, as well as the return of the three original sculptures, which were relocated since the World War II.
