Project Description
The scope of the Project is the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of a 1.2 km bridge infrastructure between Boracay Island and Caticlan, Malay to facilitate the following activities:
a) Provision and operation of a limited-access toll-bridge system; and
b) Carriage of pedestrian lanes, bikeways, power, telecommunication, water supply, sewerage, utility lines and public land transportation services.
The Proposed bridge will be a two-way two-lane bridge (1×1, 1 lane in each direction) with provision for a bike lane and sidewalk on each side. A median strip to separate opposing traffic will be provided. The initial concept design assumes a 14.5 m bridge from edge to edge.
