On March 3, Philippine Chief of Protocol and Presidential Assistant on Foreign Affairs Robert Eric A. Borje, accompanied by Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian, visited the Binondo-Intramuros (B-I) bridge (B-I Bridge), one of the bridge on the Pasig River built by CRBC.

The team listened to the progress report of the B-I bridge from the project manager.

Borje said that the B-I bridge is a flagship infrastructure project to which President Rodrigo Roa Duterte attaches great importance, and its unique construction technology and styling design are impressive, symbolizing the cultural connection between China and the Philippines.

The project is the first bridge in the Philippines that the Chinese government has provided free assistance to since President Rodrigo Roa Duterte took office, and is the flagship project of the Philippines' 'Build, Build, Build' programme. It consists of the Estrella–Pantaleon bridge (E-P bridge) and the Binondo-Intramuros bridge (B-I bridge). The B-I bridge spans both sides of the Pasig River and connects Manila's Chinatown with Intramuros, with a total length of about 678 meters and a 70-meter lift-arch bridge with four lanes in each direction. When completed, the bridge will become a new landmark in Manila.

Since the beginning of the project, Chinese and Philippine engineers and technicians have overcome many difficulties to advance the project. After the E-P bridge was opened to traffic in July 2021, the B-I bridge is nearly completed. CCCC has attached great importance to the protection of local environment and cultural relics during the construction process, and actively transferred advanced and mature bridge construction technology to the Philippines.
