The tolled Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway connects the city of Cebu, which has nearly one million inhabitants within the greater Central Visayas area, to the smaller municipality of Cordova, with around 75,000 people on the island of Mactan. Before the four-lane, 27m-wide expressway opened in 2022, Cebu was connected to Mactan by only two bridges to the north. This third inter-island connection to the south is relieving traffic congestion on the two original bridges and improving regional tourism and the economy. Importantly, the expressway has reduced travel time between Mactan Island and Cebu International Airport by 40 minutes. As part of a temporary design joint venture, SENER, a private engineering and technology group founded in Spain in 1956, led detailed engineering design, managed the multi- organisational design teams and provided technical assistance during construction. The overall project features several bridges and access viaducts connecting to the main cable-stayed bridge, explained Jordi Revoltos, bridges and viaducts discipline head at SENER. |
