Poor to bad condition bridges

One of the most iconic bridges in the Philippines, the San Juanico Bridge that connects the provinces of Samar and Leyte in the Visayas, is showing signs of "structural vulnerabilities".

- 

According to a report in Philstar.com the vulnerabilities were found during a recent assessment, and necessitated restrictions on some types of vehicles --especially the really heavy ones like commercial cargo trucks and buses-- from crossing the bridge for now.

Only light vehicles not exceeding three metric tons are allowed to cross the bridge one at a time and on the center line.

And the San Juanico Bridge isn't alone.
