THE Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge was given funding by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) as they approved the $2.1 billion construction of the bridge.

It is said to connectBataan and Cavite across Manila Bay. 

The Bataan–Cavite Interlink Bridge is said to be the government's flagship infrastructure projects.

It is a 32.15-kilometer climate-resilient bridge, which will have 2 cable-stayed bridges, 24 km of marine viaducts, and a total 8 km of approach road in the two provinces.

The ADB noted that it will be constructed after high technical standards were done to boost its resilience to natural hazards and the effects of climate change.

Among which include the sea level rise, increase in temperature and heat waves, as well as extreme weather events.

ADB said the bridge will be financed under a multitranche financing facility, with the first tranche amounting to $650 million.
