Agas-Agas Bridge (Kahupian)

Philippines / Eastern Visayas / Polahongon / Kahupian
The Agas-Agas Bridge is situated in Southern Leyte, the highest bridge ever built in the Philippines.[45] The bridge straddles between two mountains and traverses along the Mahaplag-Sogod (south-central) section of the Maharlika Highway. It provides a significant link to motorists traveling from Luzon to Mindanao. This bridge is by far the tallest pier or column that the Philippine Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has constructed with a help from the Japanese Government. It involves the construction of a 350 linear meter bridge, with a mix of steel and concrete, supported by two piers from the ground and has a height of 292 feet above ground.
