Davao River Bridge, Road bridge in Davao City, Philippines.
The Davao River Bridge is a six-lane road crossing spanning 227 meters (745 feet) over the Davao River in the city. It connects the barangays Ma-a and Buhangin as part of the Diversion Road and includes pedestrian pathways for additional traffic safety.
The bridge was originally built as a two-lane structure and underwent major expansion from 2015 to 2018. The project transformed it into a modern six-lane crossing with reinforced foundations.
This river crossing connects two barangays and enables daily movement between communities on both sides. Residents use it to reach workplaces and local markets.
Visitors should expect heavier traffic during rush hours, especially in the morning and early evening when commuters cross the bridge. Pedestrians can use the dedicated walkways and should note the reflective markings that help with visibility in poor conditions.
The bridge handles approximately 31,000 vehicles daily, making it one of the city's busiest crossing points. Its high traffic volume reflects the importance of this connection for regional movement.
