The Cebu–Bohol Bridge is a proposed bridge which will connect the island provinces of Cebu and Bohol in the Philippines.[1] The construction cost is estimated to be around ₱90 billion.
History
Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge
The bridge was proposed back in mid-2016. It is one of the listed projects in Duterte's Build! Build! Build! and, later, Bongbong Marcos' Build Better More infrastructure programs. The National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) made a proposal to connect the two provinces from Cebu City to Jetafe. The project cost was studied to be around nearly ₱58 billion.[2] The construction was planned to start in 2020. Then after, Director-General Ernesto Pernia, claimed the project to be "impossible" due to technological limitations or "very costly", causing the project to be shelved.[3]
Planning
The bridge would then be planned by Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia. Garcia would ask Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) Chairman Manuel Pangilinan, to inspect the possibility of building a bridge that will connect Cordova and Bohol. Pangilinan hinted the project cost to be around 90 billion pesos and they would have to find a way to finance the project in order to make it viable and could be raised for the feasibility study.[4] The development would later be announced by Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corporation (CCLEC) President Allan Alfon.[5]
