San Juanico Bridge (Philippines)

San Juanico Bridge (Philippines)

Wikipedia tells us this:  “San Juanico Bridge is part of the Pan-Philippine Highway and stretches from Samar to Leyte across the San Juanico Strait.  Its longest length is a steel girder viaduct built on reinforced concrete piers, and its main span is of an arch-shaped truss design. With a total length of 2.16 kilometers (1.34 mi), it is the longest bridge in the Philippines spanning a body of seawater. The bridge was dedicated to Ferdinand Marcos’ wife, Imelda Marcos. The bridge was slightly damaged by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013 but repaired.”  Unused, somewhat aging card from 2001.  Grade: 2
