Pedestrians barred from crossing San Juanico Bridge
Manila Bulletin
|May 19, 2025
Pedestrians will no longer be allowed to cross the iconic San Juanico Bridge that connects Samar and Leyte following concerns on its structural integrity based on recent assessments by experts, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) said on Sunday, May 18.
Instead, OCD Executive Director Ariel Nepomuceno said coasters and light vehicles will ferry passengers across to ensure safety and operational efficiency.
Nepomuceno said the ban on pedestrians crossing the bridge is just one of the many measures that will be implemented starting May 18 in order to ensure the safety of everybody while the national government is initiating moves to address the problem.
