EP 8 | Samal Island Davao City Connector (SIDC) Preparation of foundation works of 1 out of 2 Pylons

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has started the civil works construction of deep foundations for the land and marine viaducts of the 4.07-kilometer including Viaducts and ramp on/off, Samal Island - Davao City Connector (SIDC) Project.

The SIDC Project is a 4-lane extradosed bridge with a 530-meter main bridge; land viaduct of 570-meter on Davao City side and 395-meter on Samal Island side; and western and eastern marine viaducts of 350-meter and 510-meter, respectively. It has ramps tapping into the R. Castillo-Daang Maharlika junction, Davao City and a 24-meter wide at-grade road and roundabout at Brgy. Limao along Samal Circumferential Road, IGaCoS.

The bridge will be built with a 275-meter main span and a vertical navigation clearance of 47 meter over the southern corridor of the Pakiputan Strait. The marine crossing is approximately 1.62-kilometer with seabed up to 40-meter deep and its navigation bridge supported by two (2) pylons 73-meter above sea levels.

The bridge will serve as a catalyst for progress and development, and drive economic growth in the southern Philippines by offering a strategic solution to the existing transportation challenges and providing a much-needed alternative to ferry services with a seamless link between Davao City and Samal Island.
