Hey everyone, the Bonbon-Macabalan Bridge & Viaduct project keeps charging forward, and the latest update from March 7, 2026 shows serious action on the ground.
Latest Update: Pier 11 and Pier 13 Stealing the Show
Workers push ahead with the on-going pier extension at Pier 11. They already installed the circular rebar cage, so that beast stands ready for the next concrete pour. Meanwhile, crews stripped away the pier cap formwork from the double-pier foundation at Pier 13. Removing formwork means the concrete cured perfectly and the structure looks rock-solid. These steps bring the whole crossing closer to reality for drivers tired of the old routes.
Why This Matters in the Bigger Picture
This bridge forms a key piece of the 7.88 km CDO New Western Diversion Road plus the Punta Macabalan Coastal Bypass Road. Engineers connect these massive infrastructure pieces so traffic flows smoother across Cagayan de Oro. Commuters will soon skip heavy congestion, reach destinations faster, and enjoy safer coastal travel. Progress like Pier 11’s rebar cage and Pier 13’s clean formwork removal proves the team stays on track despite challenges. Stay tuned—more big wins come soon!
