Link Bridge 1

Nagtahan Link Bridge 1 is a 410-meter (0.25 mi)^[1] elevated one-way road flyover in Paco and Pandacan. It was constructed in 1998 and serves as the eastbound side of Tomas Claudio Street from Quirino Avenue. The flyover crosses over the Philippine National Railways and the streets of Beata, Menandro, Dr. M.L. Carreon, and Kahilum II before it descends near the San Miguel Yamamura packaging plant.

The eastbound section of the road is officially named Nagtahan Link Road 1.^[1] It becomes one-way eastbound again as it meets with the start of the one-way westbound Nagtahan Link Bridge 4. The combined four-lane road continues east as Nagtahan Link Bridge 3. After the construction of Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, the road and flyover have since become two-way.

Nagtahan Link Bridge 3, also known as Santa Mesa Bridge, Padre Jacinto Zamora Bridge, and Pandacan Bridge, is a 148-meter (0.092 mi)^[1] two-way, four-lane (two lanes per direction) bridge that crosses the Pasig River and connects the districts of Pandacan and Santa Mesa. The road then terminates at an intersection with Valenzuela Street, which provides access to Victorino Mapa Street, Magsaysay Boulevard and P. Sanchez Road. It was constructed in 1998 and renamed in 2000 after Jacinto Zamora, a member of the martyred Gomburza priests born in Pandacan.^[3]

This bridge is parallel to the Pandacan Railway Bridge, a steel railway bridge used by the PNR Metro Commuter Line, and an aqueduct held by Maynilad.

Link Bridge 4

Nagtahan Link Bridge 4

Nagtahan Link Bridge 4, also known as Tomas Claudio Bridge, is a 663-meter (0.412 mi)^[1] elevated flyover located in Pandacan. The flyover was constructed in 1998 and serves as the westbound side of Tomas Claudio Street from the end of Padre Jacinto Zamora Bridge (Link Bridge 3) and crosses over the Beata Street and Pandacan station of the PNR Metro Commuter Line until it terminates at the intersection with Menandro, Laura, and Dr. M. L. Carreon Streets, where it continues westbound to Nagtahan Link Bridge 5.

The westbound section is officially named Nagtahan Link Road 2.^[1] From 2019 to 2020, the entire road and bridge were closed to make way for the construction of Skyway Stage 3.^[4]

Link Bridge 5

Nagtahan Link Bridge 5 is a short 12.2-meter (40 ft)^[1] road bridge carrying the westbound side of Tomas Claudio Street over the Estero de Pandacan (which becomes the Beata Creek) bordering the districts of Pandacan and Paco. Westbound access to Paco was temporarily closed during the construction of Skyway Stage 3.
