MANILA – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on Monday said the iconic Binondo-Intramuros Bridge is set to open early next month.

DPWH Undersecretary Emil Sadain informed Secretary Roger Mercado that the new bridge connecting Manila’s district of Binondo and Intramuros over Pasig River is ready to open between April 5 and 9.

“Construction crews will continue to work this week on the bridge for the final finishing touches on the carriageway, ramps, and other components but it could open to traffic sooner before the 2022 Holy Week begins on April 10,” he said in a news release.

Once it is open to motorists, Sadain said they expect that about 30,000 vehicles daily to use the new two-way four-lane Binondo Intramuros Bridge which also has a sidewalk for pedestrians and joggers separated by safety railings and a marked lane for bikers to encourage the use of the non-motorized mode of transport.

He added that the access ramp from Plaza del Conde Street to San Fernando Street is still incomplete, but an access ramp from Rentas Street to Juan Luna Street is currently available.

Even though it isn’t finished, the bridge shines at night because of the radiance of lights, thermoplastic pavement markings, a painted steel arch main bridge, and metal railings.

The basket handle-tied design of the steel arch main bridge is touted to be the new symbol of time-honored friendship between the Government of the Philippines and the People’s Republic of China.

“The instruction given to contractor China Road and Bridge Corporation was to finish the most important activities and prepare for possible project inauguration by no less than President Rodrigo Roa Duterte,” Sadain said.

The Binondo-Intramuros Bridge, as well as the Estrella Pantaleon Bridge, which was completed in 2021, are two flagship infrastructure projects funded by a grant from China in support of Duterte’s administration’s “Build, Build, Build” program.

These bridges are part of the Metro Manila Logistics Network Program to reduce the congestion on major highways in the metropolis by constructing new bridges across Pasig and Marikina Rivers and the Manggahan Floodway in order to achieve seamless travel and connectivity of Filipinos.
