Senator Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Avenue, formerly known as Jaro West Diversion Road and still colloquially referred to as Diversion Road,[2] is a major bypass highway in the Iloilo metropolitan area on the island of Panay in the Philippines.

It was named after Benigno "Ninoy" Simeon Aquino Jr.,[4] a former senator who played a significant role in opposing the regime of then-President Ferdinand Marcos.

[5] The avenue traverses the Iloilo City districts of Mandurriao and Jaro, as well as the municipalities of Pavia, Santa Barbara, and Cabatuan.

Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Avenue was constructed in 1975 and originally known as Jaro West Diversion Road.

It was built as an alternative route to downtown Iloilo City, as Lopez Jaena and E. Lopez Streets in the Jaro and La Paz districts were experiencing heavy traffic due to the presence of numerous institutions in the area.
