Candaba Viaduct, Elevated highway bridge in Apalit, Philippines
The Candaba Viaduct stretches across 5 kilometers of the Candaba Swamp, connecting Pulilan in Bulacan to Apalit in Pampanga through six traffic lanes.
The bridge, designed by Aas-Jakobsen and built by Construction Development Corporation of the Philippines, started operations in 1976 as part of the North Luzon Expressway.
The bridge represents Philippine engineering advancement, rising 20 feet above the swamp to maintain regional connectivity during seasonal flooding periods.
Solar-powered lighting systems, emergency call boxes, and security cameras ensure safety measures along the entire length of the concrete structure.
The viaduct held the title of longest bridge in the Philippines from 1976 until 2021, when the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway surpassed its length.
