This bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that connects Mactaan island to Cebu Island. Yes I agree that it is only a bridge but it looks that much more special at sunset. We cruised up the river with Island Bancas Cruises and was able to view this massive structure from below and at a distance. If you visit Cebu you probably... More

The Marcelo Fernan Bridge is the second bridge that connects Mactan Island and mainland Cebu. It not only provides additional easy access to both islands, it also gives a great view of the bustling Mactan Channel.

This bridge connects the 2 main islands of Cebu - Mactan and the mainland Cebu. I marvelled so much at this, it is so cool, I had a photo taken here. I came out from our car's sunroof and snapped a shot!

It's nothing special when you compare it to other bridges you see in other countries. It can't really be considered a historical site because it was just built a decade ago. You could get a few pictures here, at least it looks nice. But it's still a matter of time before this place can really be considered a tourist attraction,... More

This is one of the historical sites in Cebu and all the tourists pass by this route going to and from the airport. I usually pass on this bridge and I have noticed the road is deteriorating, potholes here and there. One must be wary when driving fast. They did patch up the holes but not a quality job at... More

This bridge is a memorial bridge of the late Senator Marcelo Fernan who comes from Cebu. This bridge connects the metropolis of Cebu. This is huge, nicely built.
