The new Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge which connects the Cities of Mandaluyong and Makati that was donated by China to the Philippines just opened last July 2021. The Bridge is worth Php 1.46 billion (or Usd 29.2 million assuming an Exchange Rate of Usd 1 = Php 50), has 4-lanes and can accommodate up to 50,000 Vehicles per Day.
This new Bridge replaced the old 2-lane Metal Bridge that was made during the Benigno Aquino III Administration. Construction of the new Bridge started in January 2019, and it is one of the 3 Bridges that China is giving to the Philippines.
