OBJECTIVE
To contribute to efficiency improvements of road travel in Bataan, Cavite, and the National Capital Region.
DESCRIPTION
The Bataan Cavite Interlink Bridge (BCIB) Program comprises about 32 kilometer (km) fixed crossing over Manila Bay, consisting of (i) 2 long-span navigation bridges with main spans of 900 and 400 meters connecting Mariveles, Bataan to Naic Cavite; (ii) 24 km of marine and land viaducts; and (iii) 5 km of approach roads. The Program also comprises a ramp connecting Corregidor Island to Bataan and Cavite. The Program will also finance capacity building activities to improve the government’s operation and maintenance (O&M) and management capacities for BCIB and future complex bridges. The Program is expected to be financed in three phases.
Phase 1 of the Program (the Project) will finance a segment of the civil works component involving the navigation bridges, marine and land viaducts, and approach roads. |
