Estrella–Pantaleon Bridge

The Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge is a modern crossing over the Pasig River with four lanes connecting Makati and Mandaluyong through a concrete and steel structure. It spans approximately 500 meters and provides wide pedestrian and cycling areas on both sides.

The original structure opened in 2011 with Austrian funding and served as a key link across the river. A major reconstruction project spanning from 2011 to 2021 with Chinese support modernized the infrastructure to handle increased traffic demands.

This crossing links two distinct city areas and shapes how residents move between their workplaces and homes in this region. It reflects the way people organize their daily routines across different neighborhoods.

The bridge handles heavy traffic throughout the day and can become crowded during peak hours. Pedestrians and cyclists might find crossing more pleasant if they avoid rush periods.

The structure features distinctive V-shaped piers that give it a recognizable appearance while allowing efficient load distribution. This design approach sets it apart visually from other bridges in the city.
