He added the government intends to start construction of the bridge project “in the latter part of this year” and is aimed to be completed in five years.The 32-kilometer-long inter-island bridge project, which will be built across Manila Bay and will go through Corregidor Island, is expected to connect the provinces of Bataan and Cavite and cut the travel time from five hours to less than an hour.
Bonoan said the project, which will cost P175 billion, will be funded through official development assistance from the Asia Development Bank. Apart from the Bataan-Cavite bridge project, the government also aims to ground other major bridges, including the six that will be constructed across Pasig River.The DPWH chief said three of the bridges would also be funded through ODA from the ADB, while the other three will be funded through an ODA from a Chinese bank.
“These are the projects that have been presented by the President during his visit in China,” Bonoan said.
