It runs for 3.6 kilometers in a northeast-southwest direction from Nagtahan Bridge across from Santa Mesa in the north to Roxas Boulevard in Malate in the south. It passes through Paco and Pandacan districts where it also serves as a truck route between Port Area and South Luzon Expressway. North of Nagtahan Bridge, the road continues as Nagtahan Street. It is designated as part of Circumferential Road 2.
context_section_description: Nagtahan Bridge to Paco-Santa Mesa Road section
  The northern end of Quirino Avenue is at the intersection of Paz Mendoza Guazon (Otis) and Jesus Streets in Paco, at the foot of the Nagtahan Bridge as a continuation of Nagtahan. Jesus Street leads to the former Pandacan oil depot to the east while Paz Mendoza Guazon Street leads to Malacañang Park and Robinsons Otis to the west. Heading south, it enters Pandacan district moving past primarily residential areas on both sides, with Zamora Market on the west side. The avenue then curves southwest following the alignment of the Philippine National Railways line, where it merges with traffic from Paco-Santa Mesa Road (Tomas Claudio Street).
  Paco-Santa Mesa Road to Osmeña Highway section
  South of the junction with Tomas Claudio, the avenue traverses the district of Paco where the Old Paco station and Plaza Dilao are located. Also located along this stretch are the Philippine Columbian Association complex on Plaza Dilao and the new Paco railway station near the intersection with Pedro Gil Street. It follows a straight path south towards the border with Malate where it is joined by Osmeña Highway (South Luzon Expressway). 
  Osmeña Highway to Roxas Boulevard section
  The Malate section of Quirino Avenue is primarily residential and commercial. The Singalong area lies directly south of the Osmeña Highway junction just before it intersects with Taft Avenue, where the elevated Quirino LRT Station is located. South of Taft Avenue, Quirino provides access to the tourism center of Malate where the Remedios Circle, Manila Zoo, Baywalk, San Andres Sports Complex, Plaza Rajah Sulayman and Malate Church are located. It curves westwards past Adriatico Street until it meets its southern terminus at Roxas Boulevard near Manila Yacht Club and Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center.
  Quirino Avenue Extension
  Quirino Avenue extends to the industrial area of Paco (Otis) and United Nations Avenue from a loop road around Plaza Dilao just off the main highway on the north side of its short Paco segment. This is the main truck route going in and out of Port Area from South Luzon Expressway.
