The New Bridge

New Bridge
The Marcelo Fernan Bridge is one of two bridges that connects Mactan Island and mainland Cebu. Opened in 1999, locals still refer to it as the new bridge. It was built to ease traffic on the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, now popularly known, as any might have guessed, as the old bridge.
Below the new bridge is a 24-hour open park, which, despite needing some improvements, offers a great view of the bridge and the Cebu strait.

I didn’t know the new bridge looked like this in the evening. Oh well, its partly because I only see it from a distance every time i cross the old bridge. Nevertheless, it’s a nice shot, good perspective . It would have been better if I was part of it, lol.
