BATAAN CAVITE INTERLINK BRIDGE OFFICIAL NG SISIMULAN NGAYONG TAON

BATAAN CAVITE INTERLINK BRIDGE

The 32-kilometer Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge Project is a cable-stayed bridge that will be built over Manila Bay, with its starting point and northern terminus located at Barangay Alas-asin in Mariveles, Bataan, crossing Manila Bay, and ending in the southern terminus located at Barangay Timalan Concepcion in Naic, Cavite.

Once completed, the four-lane inter-island bridge project between Bataan and Cavite will cut travel time from the current five (5) hours to 45 minutes. It will be one of the longest bridges in the nation and the world.

The project is being developed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with technical assistance funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to advance the detailed engineering design and bid documents for the project.

Aside from providing permanent linkage between Bataan and Cavite, the bridge project is seen to transform the regional economies of the two provinces and its neighboring localities through improved connectivity, new economic opportunities and jobs.

In a 14 March 2023 press briefing, DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan said that the Department aims to finish the project before the end of the President’s term.
