Panguil Bay Bridge is a 3.77 km (2.34 mi) extradosed bridge currently under construction that crosses the Panguil Bay. It will connect Tangub in Misamis Occidental and Tubod in Lanao del Norte. When completed, it will become the longest water-spanning bridge in Mindanao. It will also reduce the travel time between Tangub and Tubod from 2.5 hours to just a few minutes.[2]
The groundbreaking ceremony for the bridge was held on November 27, 2018.[2] Construction officially began on February 28, 2020.[3] As of May 2024[update], the project is 90% complete,[4] with Imelda Dimaporo, governor of Lanao del Norte, announcing that the bridge will be opened to traffic by August.[5]
The bridge is party funded under the Korean Economic Development Cooperation Agreement. Currently, it is being built by the South Korean firms Namkwang Engineering & Construction Corporation and Yooshin Engineering Corporation, in joint ventures with Kukdong Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. and Kyong-Ho Engineering and Architects Co. Ltd.[5] Expenses not covered by the loan will be funded by the Philippine national government.[6]
