Bridge Plan Across Manila Bay To solve Metro Manila’s traffic crisis.
Bridge plan across Manila Bay to link Cavite, Bataan as a solution to the traffic crisis in the Philippines.
Bridge across Manila Bay was reportedly being pushed to be implemented in the country. Bridge plan is said to be the solution for Metro Manila’s traffic crisis.
According to a recent news report of Inquirer.net, Felicito Payumo, former chair of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), named his idea the Trans Manila Bay Crossing.
Payuma brought back his idea after observing that there was no more real estate left to host new roads or expand the mass transit system.
“The Trans Manila Bay Crossing poses no right of way issue. It will not only push growth outside of Metro Manila but will also connect three regions with close to 40 percent of the population and with gross domestic product (GDP) exceeding 50 percent of our total GDP,” Payumo said.
