Davao–Samal Bridge

About

The Samal Island–Davao City (SIDC) Connector, commonly known as the Davao–Samal Bridge, is an under-construction bridge that will cross Pakiputan Strait to connect mainland Mindanao via Davao City and Samal, Davao del Norte in the Philippines. On January 14, 2021, the Philippine and Chinese governments signed a contract to design and construct the bridge, costing P23 billion pesos. On October 27, 2022, President Bongbong Marcos led the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the bridge.
