Bataan-Cavite bridge project done by 2030 â DPWH

MANILA, Philippines â The Bataan-Cavite bridge, which will be the longest bridge in the country once completed, is projected to be finished by 2030, according to Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) chief Manuel Bonoan.

Once done, Bonoan said the project will also be one of the longest bay bridge in the world as it spans 32 kilometers.

The bridge will be longer than the 8.9-kilometer Cebu-Cordova Bridge and the 2.1-kilometer San Juanico Bridge.

âI was just informed that the timeframe for completion of this major bridge project will be sometime 2030 or so,â Bonoan said in a Senate hearing tackling the DPWH project when asked about it by his predecessor and now senator Mark Villar.

The bridge project starts from Barangay Alas-asin in Mariveles, Bataan, crosses Manila Bay, and ends at Barangay Timalan in Naic, Cavite.
