Lawton Avenue is the main road in Fort Bonifacio, southeastern Metro Manila, Philippines. It follows part of the line of the old Nichols route running roughly southwest to northeast from the interchange with South Luzon Expressway and the Manila Skyway to Fifth Avenue and the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. It was named after Henry Ware Lawton, US Army general during the Philippine-American War.〔(A Historical Irony ) published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer; accessed 2013-10-18.〕 ==Route description== Starting at its western terminus on Sales Bridge at the Nichols interchange near the border with Pasay, the avenue heads east to the intersection with Chino Roces Avenue near the entrance to the Fort Andres Bonifacio at Gate 3. It continues across army property winding past the Philippine Naval Hospital and Kagitingan Executive Golf Course, and intersecting with Bayani Road. At Upper McKinley Road, Lawton traverses the McKinley Hill mixed-use development and the Philippine Army Headquarters, bending sharply north as it skirts the western side of Manila American Cemetery. The avenue ends at a fork in the road with Fifth Avenue to the west, which leads to Bonifacio Global City, and Old Lawton Road to the east, which leads to the American cemetery entrance. West of the Nichols interchange, Lawton continues as Sales Road and Andrews Avenue heading to the Villamor Air Base and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminals. ==Landmarks== * Bonifacio Heights * Fort Andres Bonifacio * Gate 3 Plaza * Kagitingan Executive Golf Course * Manila American Cemetery and Memorial * McKinley Hill * McKinley West * National Mapping and Resource Information Authority * Philippine Army Grandstand * Philippine Naval Hospital 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lawton Avenue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
