CHAPTER 16 FEASIBILITY STUDY OF EAST BANK-WEST BANK BRIDGE-2
16.1 Present Traffic Condition and Traffic Impact by the New Bridge
Present Traffic Condition
The present traffic condition in the area is illustrated in Figure 16-1 Beginning from Ortigas Avenue, the entire stretch of more than 6km of the riverbank has only two bridges, i.e. Legaspi/Javier Bridge on the upstream, and Barkadahan Bridge on the downstream. The proposed bridge lies between the two bridges.
Generally, traffic at East Bank Road are mostly intercity traffic and those coming from southern part of Cainta and Taytay (Rizal) entering Metro Manila. The same traffic movement in the opposite direction in the afternoon indicates that these commuters are working or doing business in the metropolitan business area are residing in Rizal.
Upon crossing the west bank side thru either of the two bridges mentioned above, traffic is connected to two major trunk roads which are the C-5 and the R-5. Aside from the obvious limited options of crossing the river, motorists have to pass the congested local roads before reaching the two major trunk roads.
The construction of the proposed bridge including its approach road will connect Mercedes Avenue with the East Bank Road essentially addressing the missing link in the network. This new east-west link will allow motorists more options in reaching major trunk roads such as C-5 and R-4.
Approach and Countermeasures
Although construction of a new bridge will contribute to improving the traffic flow in the area by adding additional capacity in the network, additional measures are desirable to complement the new link. The proposed approach and countermeasures to complement the construction of a new bridge to make the new link effective are presented in Figure 16-2. These are as follows:
• Construction of a new road to direct traffic from East Bank Road to Mercedes Avenue.
• Ensure the good condition of traffic flow along Mercedes Avenue by enforcing no on-street parking and no vendors on the pedestrian lanes.

Estimated Future Traffic by the New Bridge
Figure 16-3 and Table 16-1 shows the future traffic volume carried by the bridge. Characteristics of the new bridge are as follows;
• Eastbank - Westbank Bridge 2 is expected to carry traffic of 17,186 veh/day in 2020, 23,826 veh/day in 2030 and 25,828 veh/day in 2040.
• Traffic volume of Legaspi Bridge which is located up-stream side of the subject bridge is expected to decrease by 7,717 veh/day in 2020, 13,745 veh/day in 2030 and 6,583 veh/day in 2040.
• Traffic volume of Barkadahan Bridge which is located down-stream side of the subject bridge is expected to decrease by 1,053 veh/day in 2020, 1,649 veh/day in 2030 and 904 veh/day in 2040.
The study considered the entire Metro Manila road network “with” and “without” the bridge projects. For the case of “with” the bridge project, the shift in traffic route is based on the Traffic Assignment Model considering the shortest/fastest travel time between routes. Traffic simulation of the entire road network (Metro Manila) is done until a particular route becomes congested (travel speed reduces to a certain degree) and traffic is diverted to lesser congested link. This results in decongesting adjacent bridges where new ones are proposed.
The generated traffic by the new bridge is not considered since traffic attraction/generation by the bridge is not easy to determine. Only the diverted traffic due to additional bridges is considered in this study.
Figure 16-3 Future Traffic Volume at East-West Bank Bridge No.2 and Neighboring Bridges
The result of total vehicle time saving and total vehicle distance saving is shown in Table 16-2.
Eastbank - Westbank Bridge 2 is expected to save the vehicle time and vehicle distance by 678 thousand veh*hour/year and 11,411 thousand veh*km/year in 2020, 1,871 thousand veh*hour/year and 16,819 thousand veh*km/year in 2030 and 2,353 thousand veh*hour/year and 17,801 thousand veh*km/year in 2040.

Estimated Disruption Cost During Construction
The proposed Eastbank – Westbank No.2 bridge will connect Eastbank to C-5 via Westbank and Mercedes Ave. Due to the construction of the new bridge, Westbank will need full closure while at the side of Eastbank only two lanes will be closed.
The disruption caused by the road closure is thus translated to costs based on the additional vehicle-km and vehicle-hr. spent by the road users in when using alternate routes other than the existing road.
Following the procedure for disruption cost evaluation outlined in Section 3.2.5, the traffic assignment of JICA Strada was carried-out for the purpose of estimating the disruption cost. The total veh*km and veh*hr of vehicles in the network were calculated using the present condition of the network (Case 1: Eastbank and Westbank road are open see Table 16-3 and Table 16-4). The same procedure was carried out for the Case 2 (Eastbank road 2 lanes is closed and for Westbank full road closure) and total veh*km and veh*hr of vehicles in the network is recorded. Both data (Case 1 and Case 2) are then converted into vehicle operating cost (VOC) and travel time cost (TTC) as illustrated in Table 16-3 and Table 16-4. Since the data was daily basis, this was converted into two (2) months for Eastbank and one (1) month for Westbank which is the envisioned total duration of closure of the road. The disruption cost during this period of closure is estimated at PhP 15,544.0 Pesos and PhP 8,483.2 respectively.

Major Traffic Flow Before, During and After Bridge Construction
Present Traffic Flow and Future Traffic Flow is shown in Figure 16-4. Present Traffic Flow: The proposed location of the new bridge is between the two existing bridges. Major traffic movement in this area is between Rizal towns (Cainta and Taytay) and Pasig. At present, motorists may drive via Legaspi Bridge or via A. Sandoval Avenue to get to their destination on the other side of the river. Traffic Flow During Construction: Since this is a new bridge, during construction no road should be closed to traffic. However, some road lanes might be reduced to accommodate construction works. Likewise, detailed construction Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is usually prepared during the detailed design and finalized prior to construction works. Traffic Flow After Widening of the Bridge: Once the bridge is constructed including its access road to Mercedes Avenue, it will give motorist another option of reaching Pasig (East Bank --> New Bridge --> Mercedes Avenue-->Raymundo Avenue-->C-5).

16.2 Bridge Alignment Study
Conditions of the Proposed Bridge Site
The original proposed location of the Eastbank-Westbank Bridge 2 to connect Eastbank Dike Road at the east side of Manggahan Floodway and Westbank Dike Road at the west opposite side of the Manggahan Floodway is shown in Figure 16-5.
Figure 16-5 DPWH Proposed Location of Bridge
The conditions of the DPWH original proposed bridge site are summarized as follows:
Connecting Road Name/Class Right Bank – passing over Westbank Road (National Road – Cainta, Rizal) and connects with Glass St. (Barangay road). Left Bank –passing over Eastbank Road (National Road - Cainta, Rizal) and connects with private road towards Cambridge Drive (village road).
River Name Manggahan Floodway
Approximate River Width 258.65m
Land Use Right Bank – Mostly residential areas to informal settlers particularly on the Westbank slopes and encroaching to the floodway channel. Left Bank - Mostly residential areas informal settlers on the Eastbank and communities of Cainta, Rizal with particular emphasis on Cambridge Village consisting of several high rise condominiums.
Existing Condition of Proposed Bridge Location
• Road Width (Right Bank): Westbank Road – 6.00m (approx.) (Left Bank): Eastbank Road. – 17.00m (approx.)
• Pavement: Asphalt/Concrete • Terrain: Flat/very high flooding. • Connecting Road (Right Bank): Close to the river bank and will
require widening/improvement of adjoining road. Needs also to
CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED 12 BRIDGES ON PASIG-MARIKINA RIVER
AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-9
open new road connection to nearest available less congested road.
• (Left Bank): Close to the river and probably open Cambridge Village as the nearest entry or locate an alternate road connection.
• River Condition: Constricted due to the encroachment of shanties by informal settlers and the water lilies that cover the channel.
Existing Condition of Nearby Bridge
• The proposed bridge is in between the Legaspi Bridge and the Barkadahan Bridge (C6).
• Barkadahan Bridge, which originally 2-lanes is proposed to be part of C6 and is being widened to 4-lanes by construction of a new 2-lane bridge.
• Both bridges experience heavy traffic during rush hours from those coming from the eastern province of Rizal.
• Both bridges are not in the BMS System but are considered in good condition; both bridges are fairly new.
Design Issues and Constraints • Demolition and removal of informal settlers on the right and left banks of the roads especially the shanties encroaching the floodway channel is absolutely required. Widening of the connecting roads is absolutely necessary which will affect residential areas.
• The informal settlers (PAPs) within the floodway corridor are proposed to be relocated by the project Manggahan Floodway Capacity Improvement Project. It is expected that the PAPs will have been relocated during the implementation of the proposed bridge.
Initial Assessment • Due to the issues and constraints particularly the effects on the residential areas in addition to the right-of-way acquisition problem; a thorough study is necessary in order to address these concerns and to identify a better road alignment corridor for this bridge site. These areas from the east are periodically experiencing heavy traffic; thus alternate access is absolutely necessary.
Looking from Right Bank towards Glass St. Note the narrow street.

Alternative Bridge Location
Three (3) Alternative Alignments were investigated namely: Alternative Alignment-1 (the original DPWH Proposed Alignment) and Alternative Alignment-2 and Alternative Alignment 3, as shown in Figure 16-7.
Initial comparative check was undertaken considering the locations of approach ramps, availability of space, road connectivity and road geometry, right of way (ROW) acquisition, LGU consultation affected by the bridge construction, access to adjacent properties, impact to existing road network, traffic movement, social impact to affected residents and existing structures and utilities.
The Alternative Alignment-2 is more advantageous than Alignment-1 (original proposed site) and Alignment-3 in terms of road connectivity and availability of space to locate the approach ramps,
CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED 12 BRIDGES ON PASIG-MARIKINA RIVER
AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-11
lesser relocation of affected people, less adverse effect on Cambridge Village and satisfying the required alignment geometry of the bridge crossing Pasig River. The comparative study is shown to Table 16-5 and Table 16-7 .
The Proposed Alignment-2 will intersect East Bank Road just about two (2) blocks away from the entrance of Cambridge Village which was proposed as Alternative Alignment 1. The approach road at Westbank Road side will pass through the residential area of Sitio Kabisig, Barangay San Andres, Cainta and will traverse vacant lots back of Mercedes Subdivision then connect with Mercedes Avenue. Some residential houses in Mercedes Subdivision will need relocation. The bridge is designed as 4-lanes with sidewalks provided from Eastbank Road side to Westbank Road side towards Mercedes Ave. The road connection to Mercedes Ave. will provide an efficient access from the west of the floodway towards C. Raymundo Ave.
The bridge alignment will affect illegal settlers along the banks of Manggahan Floodway and several residential houses at the Westbank where ROW acquisition is necessary. However, it is expected that the informal settlers at the Manggahan Floodway and dike roads will be cleared by the floodway capacity improvement project when the bridge construction is implemented.

Table 16-5 Alternative Bridge Alignment-1
Alternative-1: Four (4)-Lanes Bridge (DPWH Original)
Alignment Description: River width is based on the design of PMRCIP, dike road clearance can accommodate
flood freeboard requirements, thus raising of the adjoining Eastbank and Westbank
Roads are not necessary.
No approach ramp bridges on both sides of the Eastbank Road side and Westbank Road
side.
The bridge is designed as 4-lanes, sidewalks are provided from Eastbank Road side to
Westbank Road side terminating at both abutment ends.
Main Bridge Type: 3-Span, 4-Lanes Steel Lohse Arch Bridge.
Approach Bridge: EASTBANK ROAD Side - No approach ramp bridge, will directly intersect Eastbank Road.
WESTBANK ROAD Side - No approach ramp bridge, will directly intersect Westbank Road.
Traffic Function: • Traffic capacity improvement is lesser than the other options since connection is only at the banks. The future volume of traffic crossing the floodway via the existing Legaspi Bridge and Barkadahan Bridge is partially shared by new bridge.
• Not efficient since the connection terminates at the banks
Right-of-Way (ROW): Not much effect on Eastbank Road since demolition and relocation of illegal settlers along the dike is included in the PMRCIP project.
On the other side at Westbank Road, widening is needed along the Westbank Road to harmonize and maximize the potential use of the bridge. In this case, all along the Westbank Road additional ROW will be needed for this proposed alignment.
Issues/Problems: Demolition issues with LGU and relocation of affected residents will be assisted by the LGU. No problem encountered with the LGU consultation, they welcome the construction of the bridge and will be looking for relocation sites of affected residents in their area.
Not effective to traffic mitigation since the bridge connects only the east and west bank roads. Connectivity to major trunk roads necessary to enable efficient traffic movement.
Recommendation: Not Recommended since:
• the road connectivity is not efficient to serve the required future traffic movement. • the proposed link does not provide adequate connectivity to road network going out of
Westbank Road unless complete widening of said road is implemented.

Traffic Function: • Traffic capacity is improved with the volume of future traffic from Barkadahan Bridge and Legaspi Bridge being shared with the new bridge.
• Direct connection to Mercedes Ave. provides a more efficient traffic movement.
Right-of-Way (ROW): Not much effect on Eastbank Road since demolition and relocation of illegal settlers along the dike is included in the PMRCIP project.
On the other side at Westbank Road, widening is needed along the affected street thus demolition of residential houses will be necessary but for the vacant lots behind Mercedes Executive Village, expropriation will be necessary.
Issues/Problems: Demolition issues with LGU and relocation of affected residents will be assisted by the LGU. No problem encountered with the LGU consultation, they welcome the construction of the bridge and will be looking for relocation sites of affected residents in their area.
Recommendation: Recommended due to:
• Improve road network crossing the Manggahan Floodway by providing direct link to Mercedes Ave.
• Lesser ROW acquisition and involuntary resettlement inside Mercedes Executive Village compared to Alternative 3.

Connectivity with the Road Network
Figure 16-8 Road Connectivity of the Proposed Bridge
As seen in Figure 16-8, the proposed bridge will provide an alternative route connection of Eastbank Road from Highway 2000 in Rizal province to the other side of Manggahan Floodway and to Mercedes Avenue towards C. Raymundo and going to Metro Manila. The point of entry and exit at Westbank side will be at Mercedes Avenue connecting to C. Raymundo, Pasig Blvd. Extension then Circumferential Road 5 (C5). Mercedes Avenue is a four-lane city road with two-way traffic catering private vehicles and tricycles.
Eastbank Road is a local road, four-lane with two-way traffic perpendicular to Legaspi Bridge, Barkadahan Bridge and R5. Adding additional bridge can strengthen and improve the traffic capacity of the network.
16.3 Preliminary Design of Bridge and Approach Road
Basic Design Policy
The basic design considerations for the Eastbank - Westbank Bridge 2 are as follows:
• A four (4)-lane bridge is proposed with the alignment between the Legaspi Bridge and Barkadahan Bridge that will provide an optimum traffic flow distribution with the existing bridges.
• To minimize Right-of-Way acquisition, the bridge approach road at West Bank Road is located adjacent to the Mercedes Executive Village on a vacant lot that will require less involuntary resettlement and ROW acquisition. The selected alignment will require expropriation of the vacant lot affected by the project.
CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED 12 BRIDGES ON PASIG-MARIKINA RIVER
AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-16
• Depth requirement for hydraulic considerations shall be maintained to satisfy adequate freeboard due to maximum design flood level. The river study results did not require raising of the dike roads at both the Eastbank and Westbank sides but only embankments on the low-lying areas from the present road level along the alignment on Westbank side particularly on the area where soft soil is encountered.
• An intersection shall be formed with the Eastbank Road while maintaining its current profile. • The Westbank side approach ramp will be on embankment confined by MSE walls after the
bridge abutment and then transition to an at-grade approach road forming an intersection with Mercedes Avenue.
Design Concept and Conditions
(1) Road Design Criteria and Procedure and Standard Road Cross‐Section Elements
The design references shall be based on the road design criteria in Chapter 4.2.1, including the geometric design and cross-sectional design elements.
The project road will be classified as Urban Principal Arterials (Streets) better known as Urban National Road taking into account the future development and possible improvement of the existing road network of the influence area and it will also serve as alternative bridge/road crossing in between the existing Barkadahan Bridge and Legaspi Bridge.
The recommended design speed for the road component will be the 40 kph. The geometric design criteria of 40 kph will be used in the intersections of the Dike Roads at both Eastbank Road and Westbank Road with the proposed bridge and the intersections at proposed approach road and Mercedes Avenue.
The national road cross sectional dimensions for the project roadway line are presented in Table 4-2 of Chapter 4. The cross-section elements for the approach road at the Westbank side is shown in Table 16-8. The corresponding typical cross section drawing is shown in Figure 16-9 with a lane width of 3.35m adopted for the 4-lane bridge provided on the Westbank side of the approach ramp.
A 3.0m wide pedestrian sidewalk is provided for the bridge from the start of the bridge abutment at Eastbank Road side and terminates at the end of the approach road at Mercedes Avenue of Westbank Road side. The pedestrian sidewalk is separated from the vehicular lane by means of vehicular railing and provided with pedestrian railing at the extreme ends of the sidewalks.

Figure 16-9 Typical Road Cross-Sections
(2) Bridge Design Criteria and Procedure and Standard Road Cross‐Section Elements
a) Design Standards and Conditions
The basic design requirements for bridges shall conform with the criteria given in Section 4.2.2 of Chapter 4.
• A Lohse Arch Bridge main bridge, 3-span of 84.50m+85.50m+84.50m = 254.50m total length, is proposed with steel box chords and arch members supported on piers. This will enable enough vertical clearance for the hydraulic requirements of the bridge and at the same time provide an aesthetic view of the bridge symbolic in the area. The main bridge terminates on abutments A and B at the west and east banks, respectively.
• Since the bearing layer for the foundations reaches to a depth of 45m (confirmation
geotechnical investigation), bored piles 2.5m and 45m long are used to support the pier foundations.
• To minimize the traffic impact during construction, MSE walls are proposed to retain the embankment for the low-lying area in the Westbank side approach road.
b) Seismic Design Considerations
Seismic design for the bridge structures shall be based on the DPWH-BSDS, considering a PGA coefficient of 0.60 for the Level 2 earthquake. Based on Figure 16-40 (Active Fault Line Map), there is no active fault line within one kilometer radius in the proposed bridge.
Because of the importance of bridges crossing Manggahan Floodway, the bridge Operational Class shall be taken as OC-II (Essential Bridges) which should, as a minimum be open to emergency vehicles and for security/defense purposes, be open within a short period after the Level 2 design earthquake (1,000-year EQ return period event).
c) Bridge Deck Section
The bridge will have four (4) – lanes with 3.35m width per lane and 2-3.00m sidewalk on both sides. Typical deck sections for the bridges are shown in Figure 16-10.

(3) Horizontal and Vertical Control
Consistent with the highway and hydraulic requirements, the proposed bridge was designed following a more or less normal orientation from the Manggahan Floodway with abutment supports following the alignment of the Eastbank Dike Road in the east and Westbank Dike Road in the west. The vertical alignment of the main bridge is on an almost horizontal line of 0.050 gradient; this design satisfies the high flood level clearance requirements as well as due to the selected main bridge superstructure, i.e. Lohse Arch Type - 85.50m center span and 84.50m side spans on both the Eastbank and Westbank side.
Approach Road from the Westbank connected to the Mercedes Avenue was designed for accessibility to the nearest main trunk road. However, at the Eastbank the bridge is directly connected to the dike road without any approach road.
(4) Topographic Condition
The roadway alignment traverses a flat terrain along the existing Eastbank Road and the neighboring barangays on Eastbank side. On the opposite bank at Westbank side, the condition is the same as the Eastbank side as the roadway alignment traverses flat terrain along residential areas and villages and vacant areas inside the villages.
The location of the proposed bridge is between the existing Barkadahan Bridge and Legaspi Bridge. The site of the bridge is relatively a flat area with the river banks being converted to residential areas by informal settlers. It is a very high flood risk area according to the Figure 16-38 Geo-Hazard Map of the project area from PAGASA as the rivers are constricted by the informal settlers’ houses.
The proposed bridge is planned to be at the road level on both sides of the floodway with the elevations of the adjoining roads meeting the hydraulic requirements of the waterway.
(5) Geotechnical Condition
Due to the absence of reference data along the selected alignment due to time constraint, borehole data from nearby Barkadahan Bridge is made as reference plus a confirmatory bore hole on the vicinity

of the bridge site were utilized to determine the type and depth of foundations for the bridge structures. Figure 16-11 and Figure 16-12 give the soil profile in the vicinity of the proposed bridge site as well as the confirmatory borehole. Based on Figure 16-39 (Liquefaction Map), the Eastbank has no liquefaction potential while on the channel and Westbank, both locations are highly liquefiable.

(6) River and Hydraulic Condition
a) Present River Condition
The proposed Eastbank – Westbank BRIDGE 2 is located downstream of Eastbank - Westbank Bridge 1. The floodway width appears wider at this site and is cleaner in terms of the presence of water hyacinths during the ocular verification, and in good operational condition. The banks are fairly intact, the water in the floodway appears to be murky, but that is, its usual state noting it’s earth-lined banks and bottom and it had through the years acquired its septic function. The banks appear to have higher strata of residential communities with the usual appurtenances of residential areas. The ordinary water level appears confined to within the channel cross-section. The floodway was not designed as

AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-20
a transport alternative therefore no water vessels can be seen coming from the Laguna areas during the ocular inspection. This is simply a floodway to divert excess flood water from Marikina River, to be stored temporarily in Laguna Bay where it outfalls, until such time that it will be gradually channeled along Napindan Channel into Pasig River then to the Manila Bay. The segment of the floodway where the proposed Eastbank – Westbank Bridge 2 will be constructed, on first impression, appears to be deep and wide and has practically a straight alignment on the proposed site.
Close up views of the Westbank, note the wider width of the Floodway at this area
East Bank Vicinity
Figure 16-13 Conditions at the Vicinity of Proposed Eastbank - Westbank 2 Bridge 2 Site
b) Hydraulic Features
• The Manggahan floodway is an artificial waterway constructed 31 years ago with the primary
hydraulic purpose of reducing flooding along the banks of the Pasig River and its vicinity, by
diverting flood flows from the Marikina River to Laguna Bay.
• Its segments are fairly straight channel but slightly bends to the left as it heads towards the
Laguna Bay to effectively serve its purpose of diverting a maximum of 2,400 cms flow as
originally designed; but roughly 2,000 cms is its practical capacity.
• The increasing build-up of the presence of informal settlers has reduced its effective width to
about 250 meters at this location as of latest records, and this hinders the efficiency of its
function as originally designed.
• The preponderance of water hyacinths going forth to multiply some more and the Kangkong
livelihood, fueled by the floodway’s acquired function, also hampers the flow.

The basic HEC-RAS computational procedure is based on the solution of the one-dimensional energy equation with an iterative procedure called the standard step method. The following assumptions are usually considered: Flow is steady; flow is gradually varied; flow is one-dimensional.
The HEC-RAS computer software was used to compute for the flood level corresponding to the 50-year and 100-year design flood based on the PMRCIP 30-year design flood level (DFL).
Figure 16-16 presents the location of the Eastbank – Westbank Bridge 2 along the longitudinal profile of the Mangahan Floodway and the corresponding PMRCIP 30-year design flood level (DFL).

Road and Intersection Design
(1) Road Design Controls and Consideration
The road design is basically controlled by the direct link between the existing Eastbank Dike Road and the nearest Mercedes Avenue in the western side passing the built-up and vacant lots residential areas and considering sufficient space for the bridge approaches while maintaining the said geometric criteria and roadway elements.
(2) Road Alignment, Profile and Cross-Section Design
The Road Horizontal Alignment is geometrically design using the 40 kph design speed with the minimum radius of 100m at the western section and straight line at the eastern side of the alignment. The design speed is dictated by the Single Unit Truck that will dominate the roadway with some consideration of Trailer utilizing this new floodway bridge.
The minimum 0.05 percent vertical grade along the bridge section was adopted between the existing bank roads taking into account the 50-year design flood level and a 2.30 percent maximum down grade was introduced to meet the at-grade level towards Mercedes Avenue.
The DPWH current lane width of 3.35 meters for National roads was adopted for safety and to anticipate the possible improvement of the road network in the influence area. The 0.50m-wide gutter and 3.00m sidewalk at both sides of the road was provided for surface drain and to serve the projected pedestrian volume, respectively.
The plan alignment and longitudinal profile are shown in Figure 16-18 and Figure 16-19.

(2) Selection of Alternative Bridge Types (Main Bridge and Approach)
a) Main Bridge
The planning of the main bridge considers as follows:
• The type of main bridge selected is considered long span to allow no obstruction to the floodway
discharge flow with sufficient freeboard clearance and to build a bridge that has better aesthetic
and is symbolically in the area.
• The depth of superstructure shall be proportioned to its span length while providing sufficient
freeboard to the design flood.
• The type of main bridge will be iconic because it will provide a scenic view on the area where
monotonous bridges are built and which will enhance the tourism value of the site.
b) Main Bridge Span Length Considerations
• No consideration for navigation is accounted in the preliminary design of this bridge. However,
the span lengths will allow small boats to use the floodway.
• The span length of the bridge and the depth of the bridge girders is based solely on the maximum
flood requirements of Manggahan Floodway.
• The abutment position is decided to clear the design flood level at the bank.
• The pier location in the river shall be as near as possible to the left bank and right bank taking
into account of road alignment and ease of construction.
CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED 12 BRIDGES ON PASIG-MARIKINA RIVER
AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-28
• In case of the necessity to place piers farther offshore from the banks, the horizontal and vertical
clearance requirements should be strictly followed.
c) Pier Locations
The pier locations in river of the main bridge are decided as follows:
• The bank to bank distance to be connected by the bridge is about 254m. Since a one-span bridge
will result to a major structure with large abutment at the dike road, a multi-span bridge is taken
as the optimum span configuration.
• Three (3)-span continuous structures or simply supported multi-span arches and trusses are some
of the candidate bridge forms, considering the span requirements, depth of superstructure and
total bridge length. For three (3)-span bridges, at least two (2) piers will be in the river with the
locations based on the type of superstructure.
Figure 16-22 Pier Locations and Abutment Positions
d) Span Length for Main Bridge
Depending on the bridge type, the span length for main bridge can then be taken from 64m to 130m, as compared in the initial screening (Table 16-10).
The total bridge length will be the Eastbank to Westbank bank-to-bank distance which is around 254m.
e) Initial Screening for Applicable Alternative Bridge Types
The range of applicable bridge types, as a function of the bridge span length, for the main bridge is presented in Table 16-10. For the required span range (64m-130m), steel and concrete cable-stayed bridge, steel arch and truss bridge and prestressed concrete extradosed bridge and are the choice for the superstructure form.
Considering the previous design conditions, the number of span considered for the main bridge is basically a three-span bridge and four-span, which determines the type of bridge for the superstructure. The comparison covers a single bridge type which spans the Eastbank and the Westbank of the floodway.
Bank Distance = 254m
Multi-span bridge with piers in the river

Table 16-10 Applicable Bridge Type According to Span Length
An initial screening of possible bridge types and combination of spans for the case when the bridge length is 254m, is shown in Table 16-11. Five (5) bridge alternative schemes were considered:
• Steel Bridge : 3-Span Cable Stayed Bridge, 3-Span Arch Bridge, 3-Span Arch Bridge and 4-Span Truss Bridge
• Concrete Bridge : 3-Span Cable Stayed Bridge
Among the initial alternatives, the steel arch bridge and the concrete cable stayed bridge presents a more aesthetic and balanced view of the bridge form that can be symbolic in the area. These bridges will be the subject of a more detailed comparison.
f) Initial Screening for Applicable Alternative Bridge Types
Based on the initial screening of possible bridge schemes, a detailed comparative table of three (3) alternative schemes from the five (5) initial screening alternatives is presented in Table 16-12.
The following three (3) bridge schemes are compared as follows:
Alternative 1: 3-Span Steel Lohse Arch Bridge (L =84.5m+85.5m+84.5m)
Alternative 2: 4-Span Steel Lohse Arch Bridge (L [email protected])
Alternative 3: 3-Span Concrete Cable Stayed Bridge (L =62.25m+130m+62.25m)
As a result of the bridge comparison the 3-Span Steel Lohse Arch Bridge, which has the balanced aesthetic view and landscape characteristics, fastest construction period, least cost, ease of workability required in the bridge planning and construction and is also advantageous as a symbolic bridge, is selected as the bridge type for the main bridge.

(3) Selection of Substructure and Foundation Types
a) Selection of Substructure/Pier Types
The substructure type for the pier is selected considering the following:
• The pier shape on the river shall not hinder the river flow.
• A structure that can support the large reaction of the new superstructure.
• The pier should be able to support the horizontal transverse reaction from the Lohse Arch
supports.
b) Selection of Foundation Types
The foundation type for the pier is selected considering the following:
• Possibility of constructing bored piles by using crane on barge.
• Construction is easier than other foundation types.
• Construction is faster (shorter period) than other foundation types.
• Cheaper than other foundation types.
• Most popular method used in the Philippines in bridge foundation design and construction.
(4) Preliminary Design of Bridge (Main Bridge and Approach)
a) General Plan and Profile of the Bridge
The general plan layout of the bridge is presented in Figure 16-23 while the bridge profile shown in Figure 16-24 and the bridge perspective view is shown as Figure 16-25.

b) Main Bridge
The main bridge spans 254.50m total length over the river with 2 main piers located off shore and the abutments located in the sloped protected channel banks. The bridge cast-in-situ deck slab is supported the 3-span Lohse Arch supports forming an iconic bridge symbolic of the area. Wall-type
piers on bored piles 45m-long, 2.50m diameter support the pile caps that absorb the loads from the Lohse arch supports. See Figure 16-26.
Main Bridge Cross Section with Lohse Arch Main Pier Supports
Figure 16-26 Typical Lohse Arch and Pier Sections
The deck slab formed cast-in-situ composite with the steel superstructure is 230mm thick with 50mm thickness bituminous concrete wearing surface course. The 4-lanes carriageway is 21.65m wide, with
CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED 12 BRIDGES ON PASIG-MARIKINA RIVER
AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-34
0.65m median barriers, 0.50m gutters and 3.00m sidewalks on both sides. For the safety of the pedestrians, vehicular railings are placed to separate the carriageway and the sidewalks while pedestrian railing are placed at the ends of the sidewalks.
c) Approach Ramp Bridges
EASTBANK Approach. No approach ramp bridge, the main bridge is supported on Abutment A that connects directly to the intersection of Eastbank Road.
WESTBANK Approach. No approach ramp bridge, the main bridge is supported on Abutment B that connects directly to the intersection of Westbank Road and forms a new approach road on MSE wall embankment leading to the intersection with Mercedes Avenue.
d) Abutments and Approach Ramps
The bridge abutments are formed at the intersections of the Eastbank and Westbank connecting roads. On the Westbank side an approach ramp is proposed together with the at-grade road connection to Mercedes Avenue. To minimize disturbance of traffic during construction, less space used during construction and generally more economical option, mechanically stabilized earth wall (MSE) system is utilized to retain the embankment in the approach ramps at the Westbank side. See Figure 16-27.
Figure 16-27 Abutment and Approach Ramps (MSE Wall) Details
Miscellaneous Structures
(1) MSE Walls
MSE walls are adopted at higher segments from the abutments of the ramps to a minimum of 1.0m from the Roadway Level for optimum and economical result. The MSE wall is adopted due to the following:
Approach Ramp on MSE Wall
Typical Abutment Details
CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED 12 BRIDGES ON PASIG-MARIKINA RIVER
AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-35
• Economy, considerable advantages over cast-in-situ, both in construction time and quantity of
materials;
• Technical, high load carrying capabilities, both static and dynamic;
• Construction, ease of installation using prefabricated components is rapid and predictable; and
• Aesthetics, superior appearance since the facing is highly suited for architectural finishes
The MSE wall is mainly comprised of the layers of granular fill, reinforcing strips, concrete precast facing and the founding base. Its strength and stability is derived from the frictional interaction between the granular backfill and the reinforcing strips resulting in a permanent and predictable bond that creates a unique composite construction material. The concrete facing is connected to the reinforcing strips by durable bolts.
The MSE Base is embedded into the ground a minimum of 0.90m and sized per AASHTO LRFD, 2012 Section 11.10 criteria and specifications. See Figure 16-27.
(2) River Protection
Slope Protection Works. In order to maintain the uniformity of flow, the confinement of water in the river, mitigate scouring of river banks and maintain the water within the river at specified flood discharge and flood level, concrete/grouted riprap slope protection and/or gabion mattress will be provided along the banks. For this bridge, existing concrete slope protection works similar to the upstream part of the channel will be adopted as designed. This option is to use concrete lined slope protection works depending on the hydraulic considerations. See Figure 16-28 showing a typical river bank slope protection works.
Figure 16-28 Typical Concrete Slope Protection Wall
(3) Drainage Facilities
Appurtenant to all bridge structures are the equally spaced side drain openings at both sides of the bridge or drainage gutters with outfalls at the foot of the bridge, directed into the river by means of concrete lined ditches or connected to the drainage facilities at the approach road (Figure 16-29). Side ditches running down adjacent to the ends of the bridge, down to the river are also necessary for bridge approaches that may be required to be elevated due to conditions at the approaches. These are usually concrete-lined side ditches.

Liquefaction
Liquefaction in the proposed bridge is very high on the west bank and no apparent liquefaction on the east bank. Liquefaction takes place when loosely packed, water-logged sediments at or near the ground surface lose their strength in response to strong ground shaking. Liquefaction occurring beneath buildings and other structures can cause major damage during earthquakes. See Figure 16-39 for liquefaction potential in the area.

vegetables. Trees observed are mixtures of naturally growing species planted trees as fruit crop, shade plant and as landscape species. Though, only the Mahogany (Sweitenia macrophylla King) is included in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2014.2) list of threatened species as Vulnerable in category. Assessment to fauna also revealed that observed species are minimal and very similar on both sides (east and west side). This can be associated to the current condition of the area which is generally not opportune as habitat for wildlife. Species observed are also found to be common and thriving in a wide range of habitats in the low lands. These species are thus that can thrive in highly urbanized areas including settlements. Other species are thus highly mobile in nature that going to different places following river channels and/ aquatic areas as their feeding ground. With reference to the IUCN red list, all of the fauna species observed are under least concern category.
(2) The Water
Water Quality
The nearest water quality stations obtained from the proposed Eastbank-Westbank Bridge 2 are the results of C6 Bridge and Bambang bridge stations. Secondary data for physico-chemical and sediments quality results from January to December 2016 were obtained from Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC).
Based on the results, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Oil & Grease, Fecal Coliform, phosphates and ammonia of both stations failed to meet the criteria guidelines of the DENR Administrative Order No. 2016-08, Water Quality Guidelines and General Effluent Standards of 2016. Results of hexavalent chromium for certain months in 2016 failed to conform to the criteria. Higher dissolved oxygen concentrations measured in water indicate a healthy aquatic environment needed by aquatic animals. BOD measures the pollution strength of water. High concentrations of BOD may lower the amount of oxygen that will be available to the fishes and other aquatic species. Thus, BOD is a good indicator of pollution level, the higher the BOD, the higher the amount of pollutants. The results of both water quality stations for BOD were 2 to 5 times higher than the standard of 7 mg/L. These maybe attributed to domestic wastewater that flows out directly to receiving body of water, untreated or partially treated wastewater from commercial and industrial facilities located within the vicinity and nearby areas. The excessive levels of nutrients such as ammonia, total nitrogen and phosphates are indicative of nutrient pollution. The main nutrients required for plant growth such as nitrogen and phosphates are present at high levels. The presence of water hyacinths along Manggahan floodway serves as indicators of pollution. Discharges from domestic wastewater or septic tanks, commercial and industrial sites can be a source of nutrient enrichment. Levels of fecal coliform bacteria showed high exceedance against the standard. Total coliform is a measure of potential water contamination from bacteria that can be found in soil, vegetation and feces of warm-blooded animals. Most coliform bacteria are generally harmless but they may also pose some health risk if there is presence of fecal coliform. Fecal coliforms are associated with human or animal wastes.
Sediments Quality
River sediments were taken from C6 Bridge and Bambang Bridge stations on March and October 2016. Trace levels of cadmium, chromium and lead were detected at C6 Bridge. Lead results were notably

Climate
The climate in the area is mild. Rainfall occurs mostly from June to October due to the southwest monsoon. The dry season starts in November and ends in May registering a warm mean temperature of 29.2 ºC. The coldest month is January. The normal relative humidity is 77 percent, which is highest from July to September. The northeast wind normally occurs during the months of January, February, October, November, and December while the southwest and southeast wind occur at shorter periods from June to September and March to May, respectively. Based on the modified coronas classification of climate of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration (PAGASA), the project area falls under a Type-1 climate which is characterized by two distinct seasons; wet from May to November and dry from December to April. Most Tropical cyclones that pass through the province come from the Pacific Ocean at a frequency of five cyclones in three (3) years. Frequency of tropical cyclones/typhoons per PAGASA is rated at 16%. The abnormal amount of rainfall is induced by typhoons. The temperature of the area ranges from 26ºC to 31ºC with an annual average temperature of 27ºC. November is the coolest month while May is the hottest. Humidity ranges from 70% to 85%.

Based on Table 16-22, the TSP, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide were within the DENR
standards for 24-hours monitoring. TSP from Circulo Verde station was higher compared from Manggahan Village which may be attributed to its proximity to existing roads. Sulfur dioxides in both stations were not detected and trace levels of nitrogen dioxide were obtained. Meteorological factors such as the wind velocity and direction may also have contributed to the movement of dust from the road.

Demographic Features Cainta remained largely uninhabited until during the 1960’s when it’s population more than tripled over a ten-year period. The same trend continued until during the 1970’s with the population growth rate peaking at an average of as much as 12 percent per year. The rate of population growth gradually tapered off during the succeeding years, with the rate of increase lowered at an average of three percent per year during the last five years. By 1995, Cainta’s population reached 148,780, having climbed from as low as 6,803 in 1960. Cainta displayed a much more aggressive population growth than that of the whole province of Rizal which exhibited an average increase of 6.1 percent per year during the 70’s and 5.8 percent per year during the 80’s. The national average was 2.9 percent from the 1970’s to 1980 and 2.3 from 1980 to 1990. In terms of population, by the year 2000, Rizal Shared 14.48 percent to the 11.8 million populations of the region and ranked fourth in terms of population size among the 11 provinces and one highly urbanized city. Among the 13 municipalities, Antipolo City was the biggest in terms of population size of 27.58 percent of the total provincial population, Cainta with 14.20 percent followed with Taytay 11.61 percent, respectively. By the year 2010, Cainta increase its average to 2.55, the high population growth of Cainta is attributed to the fact the municipality has served as an important overspill area of the population of Metro Manila. With its proximity to the urban employment hubs of Metro Manila, Cainta has become a strategic residential place for average income families working in the metropolis. Road Network The main road of Cainta is Ortigas Avenue Extension, a heavily congested corridor that passes through the business district of Ortigas Center and leads to Mandaluyong City and San Juan in the west and the town of Taytay and Antipolo City in the east. Another major road is Imelda Avenue which runs across Ortigas Avenue Extension and connects the town to Marikina City to the north and Taytay to the south. The point of intersection between these two main arterials is known as simply as Junction. A. Bonifacio Avenue, located in the town proper, is the town’s most frequently traversed street. At the current time, Cainta is under the management of the MMDA, which pertains to the traffic situations, particularly in the junction area.

Public works Cainta continues to strive for growth and advancement. A. Bonifacio Avenue, being Cainta’s busiest corridor has undergone road widening. The span of expansion is from Junction area up to the Cainta Catholic Church. This would result to a low – lane accommodation for traffic flow and provide necessary loading and unloading station throughout the municipal road. Vast infrastructure improvements are evident along the municipality. With the help of the national government and local and provincial authorities, Cainta’s major thoroughfares are being upgraded to serve the growing number of motorist passing across the town; upgrade is evident along Ortigas Avenue Extension, Imelda Avenue and A. Bonifacio Avenue. Economic Characteristics Cainta is situated at the doorstep of the CALABARZON region which stands as perfect heaven for investments. Its economic turn – about from agricultural town to a first-class municipality is propelled by the fast pace completion of various infrastructure projects. It is a home of multinational companies such as Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, BF Metals, Monde M.Y. San Corporation and others. Today Cainta has a robust economy as evidenced by several commercial and industrial establishments that have sprouted. Cainta is the richest municipal in the province and the second ranking in the country after Cabuyao, Laguna with respect to Income Revenue growth (base on 2007 COA Report.) The town continues to attract businesses because of its proximity to Manila and the town’s burgeoning population which mostly consists of hard-working and hospitable people. The early part of the 21st century witnessed the founding of numerous manufacturing firms, including Monde M.Y San Corporation, one of the nation’s leading biscuit manufacturers and BF Construction Philippines Impacts
The implementation of EastBank-WestBank Bridge 2 will cause significant impacts on land acquisition and resettlement along the alignment of the bridge which is located in San Andres, Cainta, Rizal. These include informal settlers along the eastbank and westbank of Manggahan Floodway. Structures and land along the bridge alignment in Mercedes village will be acquired to give way for the construction of the bridge. Thirteen (13) structures are identified including the extension Office of Cainta LGU will be affected. About 46 ISF structures are initially accounted to be affected along the alignment in Manggahan Floodway.
Significant direct impacts on people include displacement and loss of land and properties. The people residing and working nearby will most likely be affected due to increase to increase in noise, odor, dust pollution, traffic congestion brought about by the construction of the project and the mobilization of construction materials and equipment. Health and peace and order condition of nearby communities will somehow be affected during construction phase due to possible entry of migrant workers.
A detailed Resettlement Action Plan will be undertaken during the detailed phase of the project to ensure that land and structure that will be affected will be compensated and replaced. Coordination with the village owner will also be undertaken (Mercedes Village).

Resettlement Policy Framework
(1) Background
The proposed 4 lane 2-way bridge project is a 254.5-meter-long which will connect the east and western portion of Cainta, Rizal across the Manggahan floodway. The proposed bridge geographically lies in between 121o 6’ 19.8576” longitude and 14o 35’ 2.1012”. It is bounded by Pasig in the Northwestern side, Municipality of Cainta and Taytay in the southeastern section. The proposed bridge from East Bank road side will be connected across the Manggahan floodway into the existing Westbank road and will cut-cross Mercedes Village. Construction of this bridge will help ease heavy traffic in the ease bank road which is periodically experience.

For Private land and structure/house owners
Philippine Constitution states that private lands expropriated or taken for the public interest shall be paid just compensation. The Supreme Court defines just compensation as current market value less the cost of any future benefits the landowner may derive from residual land. In negotiated settlements, government offers compensation based on the schedule of market values of the LGU or BIR zonal valuation before proceeding with expropriation. Under RA 10752, Section 5, Compensation should be through negotiated sale the required ROW Project, by offering to the property owner as compensation price, the sum of the: a. current market value of
the land b. replacement cost of
structures and
The project should use replacement cost for the valuation of land, which for urban land is defined as the pre-displacement market value of land of equal size and use, with similar or improved public infrastructure facilities and services and located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes.
The project policy on compensation is based on the full replacement cost for land, structures and other improvements in line with JICA Guidelines, WB OP 4.12 and RA 10752
Cainta Municipal Extension Office will be replaced/relocated based on the agreement of Cainta LGU

Major government policies (e.g. RA 7279, RA 10752) are silent regarding loss of income directly resulting from land acquisition. However, some agency specific policies like the DPWH Land Acquisition, Resettlement, Rehabilitation and Indigenous Peoples (LARRIP) Policy 2007 and DO 327 s. 2003 cover income loss. LARRIP on Income Loss. “For loss of business/ income, the PAF will be entitled to an income rehabilitation assistance not to exceed Peso 15,000 for severely affected structures, or to be based on the latest copy of the PAF’s Tax record for the period corresponding to the stoppage of business activities” DO 327 s. 2003 provides transitional allowance for severely affected shop owners for their computed income loss during demolition and reconstruction of their shops, but not to exceed one-month period.
Based on the result of the initial assessment, the Income Restoration and Livelihood Development Program will be considered in the RAP. Note: Area included in the RAP of PMRCIP

(3) Project Affected People, Structures, Crops and Other Improvements
With the implementation of the proposed project some aggregates of residential area, Informal settler’s area and industrial lands will be generated by the project by the construction of new road alignment. The proposed bridge alignment including the construction of ramp and new roads that will link to the existing roads has a total of 14,490 square meters or 1.45 hectares. Of the total parcel of land possibly generated by the project, about 16.8% is a residential area, 16.0% is informal settler’s area, 56.8% is industrial area (currently grass land area).
At the East bank area, informal settlers are residing with house structures made of concrete to semi concrete houses. Other impact of the project at this area is disturbance of some small businesses such as sari-sari stores and other merchandizes along the west bank and east bank roads which will be possibly generated by the ROW. More so, a half court concrete paved basketball court in the east bank side will also be generated.

Figure 16-45 House Structures and Improvements at Eastbank area
There are about 13 house structures, in terms of land tenure, are initially identified along the alignment (Mercedes Village). Among also the affected structures within the alignment is the municipal annex building of Cainta, Rizal. Coordination with the village owner/management will be undertaken during the detailed design.
Informal settlers are also observed at the Westbank along the Manggahan Floodway. These are made of concrete, semi-concrete to light materials. Within the bridge alignment, around 46 ISF structures were initially identified residing along east bank and Westbank of Manggahan Floodway.

Consultation with Local Government Units (LGUs) and Other Stakeholders
The focus group discussion with the stakeholders in Cainta, Rizal was conducted last May 22, 2017, 1:30 PM at Mayor’s Office Conference Room, Cainta Municipal Hall. It was attended by twenty-four (24) participants, which includes the Cainta Mayor, Vice Mayor and concerned officials, DPWH Personnel, and Consultants.
The half-day event highlighted the presentation on project background and preliminary designs of the proposed Eastbank - Westbank Bridge 2 located at San Andres, Cainta, Rizal. The FGD also aims to gather comments and suggestions of the stakeholders (most especially the officials of Cainta) towards the project.
There was a concern on the ROW acquisition along the alignment in Mercedes Village. Coordination with the village and private property owners during the detailed engineering phase was recommended. Relocation of informal settlers along the Manggahan Floodway was also mentioned. At the end of the meeting, Cainta Mayor expressed his support to the project.
The FGD concluded the positive response and support of Cainta LGU to the project. The LGU commits full cooperation and assistance for the documents needed for the study (Comprehensive Land Use, Certificate of No Objection, among others). There are no major concern/issues raised during the meeting. Close coordination and communication with the LGU and the proponent should be undertaken in all phases of project development. Intensive Information-Education-Communication campaign about the project is very essential condition to generate full support to the project as well as avoid misunderstanding and misinformation to the concerned stakeholders.

CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED 12 BRIDGES ON PASIG-MARIKINA RIVER
AND MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY FINAL REPORT
Page |16-77
Technical Evaluation
The results of the bridge planning and technical analysis indicate that the proposed four (4)-lane East Bank – West Bank Bridge-2 construction is technically feasible. In general, the proposed bridge will directly connect the east bank with the west bank and proceeds towards Mercedes Ave., which is linked directly to C. Raymundo Ave. and provides connection to C-5.
Other Impacts
(1) Traffic
The results of the traffic analysis indicated that the proposed East Bank – West Bank Bridge-2 will be able to share significantly the future traffic growth expected to pass the Barkadahan and Legaspi Bridges. Specifically, the provision of the new bridge will reduce the traffic movement travel time from the east bank to C. Raymundo Ave.
(2) Environmental and Social Evaluation
Environmental Evaluation
Evaluating the environmental condition/setting of the area plays a vital role on the initial stage of any development project to identify and assess the potential environmental impacts and risks of the proposed project and to plan for the best alternative project location. The proposed East Bank-West Bank Bridge 2 poses minimal or no serious adverse impacts to the environment, in terms of air and water quality, including noise as the project area is already urbanized and industrialized. In terms of ecosystem, as the project area is covered with built-up areas, no significant ecosystem is left within the project area. On the other hand, physical condition of the area should always be as the area is susceptible to hazards such as liquefaction and flooding.
Social Evaluation
The East Bank – West Bank Bridge-2 will yield the following positive results: improved traffic and reduced travel time. The proposed bridge will provide an alternate route for those commuting residents from Rizal to/from their respective work places and thus reducing the delay time experienced on a day to day basis.
However, there will be partial PAPs the will need involuntary resettlement away from their existing place of residence who may not benefit on the increase income-opportunity due to improve traffic and reduced travel-time. Hence, in determining the type entitlements - this concern must be well considered in the RAP. Further, the resettlement-process should also look on the lost or destruction of existing “support system networks” among the relocated PAPs. If the “in-City” relocation sites may not be feasible due to very high-cost and unavailability of land, it is important for project management to ensure that social-system-support would be established in the “host-community”.
The positive effects of the bridge is not limited to those living around the area but could be felt outside the area - especially those with business related to the port area.
Overall Evaluation
The proposed bridge, on the overall, is justified and found to be economically and technically feasible with positive impacts outweighing the negative impacts in the surrounding areas and beyond. Specifically, the host LGU (Cainta) is willing to extend its full support towards implementation of this bridge project.
