9-year-old bridge already needs replacement — DPWH | Inquirer News
The 30-month closure of a bridge connecting the cities of Makati and Mandaluyong, which is set to start this month, can affect about 40,000 vehicles daily, diverting them to inner streets and aggravating traffic conditions.
In a hearing held on Wednesday by the House committee on Metro Manila development, Director Virgilio Castillo of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) explained why Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge already needed replacement even though it was opened only nine years ago.
Castillo gave Sept. 20 as the tentative date of the closure, but said it could still be moved as the DPWH was still in talks with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to come up with better traffic management plans addressing the expected gridlock.

or is it being closed, to make it wider?Last edited by dr. d; September 14th, 2018 at 01:20 PM.

according don sa news.. weak na din daw.. so totally tatanggalin and papalitan nang bago.. gagawing 4 lanes.. so dapat baguhin din nila yung streets connecting the bridge.. dapat 4 lanes na din.. otherwise magiging bottleneck na naman yan.. 2 lanes ang one way nang bridge tapos single lane lang pag baba..

September 14th, 2018 04:24 PM #7"Less than a decade old." "Funded by China." "Torn down completely."
Not very reassuring words those. And it has to start just when the Christmas Rush is upon us. Hmmm....
"The two-lane bridge will have to be torn down completely and replaced by a new, four-lane structure costing P1.4 billion, he added.
The Estrella-Pantaleon was one of the two bridge projects on the Pasig River — the other being the Binondo-Intramuros span in Manila — \that would be funded by China based on development assistance agreements with the Duterte administration."

September 14th, 2018 01:24 PM #8This is such a hassle for everyone using this bridge and the Makati-Mandaluyong one.
Dapat maglaan muna sila ng alternative route na matino bagong ipasara yan.
