The Asian Development Bank has approved P500 million to fund a feasibility study for the Sorsogon-Samar Transport Crossing (SSTC) project. The proposal involves building a 20-kilometer bridge over the San Bernardino Strait, connecting Luzon via Matnog in Sorsogon to Allen in northern Samar in the Visayas. The study aims to evaluate the viability of this permanent road link between the two island groups.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project is intended to provide a permanent road connection between Luzon and the Visayas. If realized, the bridge could reduce travel time between Matnog and Allen to approximately 20 minutes, compared to the current average of two and a half hours via the existing roll-on/roll-off ferry system.
