MANILA, Philippines — The construction of the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge funded by the Chinese government is almost complete and it will open between April 5 and 9, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced yesterday.
The bridge connects Manila’s district of Binondo and Intramuros over Pasig River.
“Construction workers will continue to work this week on the bridge for the final finishing touches on the carriageway, ramps and other components,” DPWH Secretary Roger Mercado said.
DPWH Undersecretary and Build Build Build chief implementer Emil Sadain said around 30,000 vehicles daily are expected to use the two-way four-lane bridge.
