Mactan-Mandaue Bridge or popularly called The First Mactan-Mandaue Bridge (Mactan-Mandaue Bridge I) is the first of two bridges spanning across the Mactan Channel and connecting the islands of Cebu and Mactan.
The 846-meter long and 9-meter wide box truss bridge was constructed during the term of the late President Ferdinand Marcos. The construction began in 1970, a year after the declaration of Mandaue as a chartered city. It was inaugurated on July 4, 1971. Finished in 1972 at a cost of 65 million pesos. The bridge was designed and created wholly by Filipino engineers.
