CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – An aging bridge in Meycauyan City in Bulacan will finally be replaced with a new structure after almost 50 years, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said on Wednesday. George DC. Santos, the district engineer of the DPWH-Bulacan 2nd District Engineering Office, said the old Marcos Bridge, locally known as Tawiran Bridge, which was built in 1972 and officially opened to motorists in 1973, will be replaced to make way for a better bridge that conforms to the latest DPWH standard specification and seismic design. Santos said although the bridge remains in operation and open, they have observed an advanced deterioration of its structural elements.
