Inspection of the San Juanico Bridge 12/12/2025

Tacloban City December 12, 2025 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. conducts an on-site inspection of the San Juanico Bridge in Barangay Cabalawan, Tacloban City on December 12, 2025. The 2.16-kilometer bridge connecting Samar and Leyte has been restricted to vehicles weighing up to three (3) metric tons since May 2025 due to structural concerns. The load capacity restriction on the San Juanico Bridge significantly disrupted the usual movement of heavy vehicles that previously used the bridge, prompting the use of alternative routes and expanded Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) services — such as via the Amandayehan Port in Basey, Samar — to ensure the continuity of cargo transport between Samar and Leyte. Rehabilitation and strengthening works by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) were recently completed, culminating in a dry run on 10 December 2025, allowing vehicles up to 15 metric tons to safely cross the bridge. During the inspection, President Marcos Jr. receives a briefing from DPWH Secretary Vivencio ‘Vince’ Dizon on the ongoing rehabilitation and strengthening works. The San Juanico Bridge has now reopened to two-way traffic under the new weight limit, improving the movement of goods and passengers across Eastern Visayas (Region VIII). The inspection highlights the government’s commitment to bridge safety, structural integrity, and support for economic activity, trade and logistics in Eastern Visayas.
