“Despite the challenges, DPWH delivered its commitment for the July opening of the modern Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge,” Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar said.
President Duterte graced the symbolic unveiling of a bridge marker in Rockwell, Makati City.
The modern bridge will connect Estrella Street in Makati City to Barangka Drive in Mandaluyong City. It is a four-lane bridge that will replace the old temporary steel truss bridge connecting the two cities which used to be a two-way bridge with a single lane per direction.
Built at a cost of P1.46 billion, the Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge Project is one of the two bridges funded by a grant of the People’s Republic of China – the other one is Binondo-Intramuros Bridge in Manila expected to be finished at the end of the year.
