Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge Project

The Bataan–Cavite Interlink Bridge will span approximately 32.15 km (19.98 mi) in total length, of which around 26 km (16 mi) will traverse the waters of Manila Bay. The four-lane, dual carriageway bridge system will connect Barangay Alas-asin in MarivelesBataan, to Barangay Timalan Balsahan in NaicCavite.

The project includes two main cable-stayed bridges—the North Channel Bridge and the South Channel Bridge—along with 23.5 km (14.6 mi) of marine viaducts, a minor nearshore navigation bridge, and approach roads on both ends. A turnaround interchange is planned near Corregidor Island, and a future connection to the island has been considered, though it is not included in the bridge project.

The North Channel Bridge will span a 300 m (980 ft) wide shipping lane between the Bataan coast and Corregidor Island. It will feature two 142 m (466 ft) tall towers, a main span of 400 m (1,300 ft), and a vertical clearance of 40.5 m (133 ft) to accommodate maritime traffic. The South Channel Bridge, considerably larger, will cross the 750 m (2,460 ft) wide deep-water channel between Caballo Island and the Cavite shoreline. It will include two 304 m (997 ft) tall towers, a main span of 900 m (3,000 ft), and provide 72.3 m (237 ft) of vertical clearance.

In addition, a 315 m (1,033 ft) long nearshore navigation bridge will be constructed closer to the Cavite coast, with a 150 m (490 ft) clear span and 25 m (82 ft) of clearance, enabling passage for Philippine Coast Guard vessels and large fishing boats through a newly established 90 m (300 ft) wide navigation channel.
