Construction of Bataan-Cavite Bridge Commences, Initiated by Marcos

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. announced the planned construction of the Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge Milestones (BBM) project, which aims to link the provinces of Bataan and Cavite through a bridge that will cut travel time to just 45 minutes. The project, which costs Php175.6 billion, was presented through a scale model during ceremonies in Mariveles, Bataan. The BBM project is expected to boost trade and tourism in the region and generate employment opportunities. The bridge will also serve as a key infrastructure project for the government’s “Build, Build, Build” program, which aims to improve the country’s transportation network.
