Defining the News

The Department of Public Works and Highways said it expects to complete the Davao River Bridge Project by the end-2025.

DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil Sadden said the construction of the 1.34-kilometer, four-lane, six-span extradosed bridge and its approach roads over the Davao River which started in November 2023 had made significant strides, with completion now reaching 32.13 percent.“We are confident in meeting our target to open the bridge to traffic by end of 2025,” Sadain said.

The project will complement the Davao City Coastal Road upon completion, enhancing mobility, connectivity and economic opportunities for Davao Region. The project under the “Build Better More” agenda of the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is an essential infrastructure, providing faster and more efficient roadway to large volume of vehicles and in alleviating the east-west traffic congestion in the coastal areas of Davao City.

Civil works for the bridge include the installation of rebars for pier columns and crossbeams, simultaneous with placement of scaffoldings in preparation for deck construction. Activities such as steel sheet pile driving for cofferdamming and bored piling are also progressing as planned, the DPWH said.
