The floating bridge can accommodate ten persons crossing simultaneously.
The Philippine Coast Guard in the CALABARZON region completed on Tuesday, November 29, the installation of a four-meter wide and hundred-meter long pontoon bridge in Bantilan river, reconnecting the towns of Sariaya, Quezon and San Juan, Batangas.
The collapse of Bantilan Bridge forced residents to use makeshift boats to cross the river, but local authorities stopped these crossings after one boat carrying four passengers capsized on November 7. The PCG will station personnel on both sides of the bridge to ensure that rules and protocols are followed day and night to prevent accidents.
BRIDGE MATERIAL. San Juan Mayor Ildebrando Salud looks on as the Philippine Coast Guard delivers pontoon bridge materials. San Juan Mayor Ildebrando Salud said in an interview that the bridge is crucial to the livelihood of farmers.
