Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge

This is the Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge, Convenient, and Easier way to travel from Panay to Negros Island, and Eventually, across Visayas
The Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge is one of the Philippines Inter-Island Bridge Megaprojects, that will connect between Philippines major island, and it is part of Trans-Visayan Bridge that connects Panay until Leyte, and that includes building of new bridges, and improving the existing one
During Construction, it will need Ingenuity, and innovation of the country, like floating bridge that allows a bridge column to not go into the seabeds, and it will float aboveground, through its supporting structure, and be able to withstand even the most extreme natural disasters like magnitude 9 earthquakes and the strongest tsunami
Even in the construction stage of this bridge, many investors will likely attract, as the construction of buildings beside the bridge will also start made by the investors, as the bridge construction is ongoing, and once the bridge is completed, some of the buildings beside that area of a bridge will also be completed, while another set will be underway
When completed, it will boost the livelihood and economy of Iloilo province, Guimaras province, and Negros Occidental province, and also, it can be able to support both Road and Rail, because the Future Panay Railway will also connect this bridge, so that trains can go to Negros Island and Easter Visayas too.
As of this posting on the 2nd week of March 2023, the bridge will start its detailed engineering design, and it will be completed after 1-1.5 years, while the construction and finding of a contractor will be started Immediately, with a construction duration between 4-5 years for both bridges
On Guimaras Island, there will be a Controlled Access interchange that feels like an Expressway, to link its towns of Guimaras, and tourist sites, therefore, Boosting its island economy, as well as the image of the island as a strategic point between Panay, and Negros Island, and between bridges at Guimaras Island, it will be an At-Grade, and few elevated segments Controlled-access road
The bridge will start at Lapuz, Iloilo City will cross Iloilo Strait, then, pass through Guimaras Island with an interchange, afterward, will cross Guimaras Strait (Which is the longest bridge in the portion of that megaproject), and will end at the south part of Bacolod City, with direct connection to the downtown, since ending it in downtown is not feasible, because of lots of land acquisition needed
The bridge will be extradosed like Panguil Bay Bridge for Iloilo Strait part, and 2 Cable-stayed bridge segments for Guimaras Strait part, it's design will be inspired by the local Hiligaynon, and Negros culture, with columns, tollgates, and interchanges all inspired by this, and it will have LED Billboards displaying advertisement, on the bridge tower between the sides of Bridge Deck, LED Lightings, and a Solar Panel on the rooftop of Bridge Towers, as well as in the Tollgates
To improve the effiency of the megaproject, the majority of the bridge's substructure, and superstructure will be either prefabricated or 3d printed, or cast-in-situ with more innovative methods that lessen the time the concrete needs to dry, especially in the bridge deck part that also connects the cables to the bridge towers, the Interchange of Guimaras Island structure, and the tollgate structure
When completed, passengers cna be able to travel from Iloilo City to Bacolod City in under 20-30 minutes, at a speed between 60-100 kph, and when it's another project, Panay Railways passing through the bridge is completed, one can be able to go to Iloilo City for work, and be back at Bacolod City for home, gaining the ability for the workers in Western Visayas to live, and work in 2 islands simultaneously, and Iloilo City to Bacolod City Station of Panay Railway will only take just 15 minutes
This bridge will be designed with Futuristic mixed with the local traditional culture of Panay, and Negros Island, has Environmentally Friendly Standards, such as the Bridge alignment will avoid mangroves, to avoid destroying them, also, it will be constructed in a way that benefits the public, and the environment
Last but not the least, the Public is mostly optimistic that the bridge will be completed within this decade, so that a massive success of the Philippine Megaproject in Panay, and Negros will happen, and aside from Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge, it also has Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge, which I will do a Yearly update until its completion again, 4th Cebu-Mactan Bridge, Negros-Cebu Bridge, Cebu-Leyte Bridge, and more Bridge megaprojects in our country
