Marcelo Fernan Bridge
Marcelo Fernan Bridge was constructed with the help of the Japanese Government and opened in August 1999 to decongest the traffic from the older Mactan-Mandaue Bridge. The bridge has a total length of 1237 meters (4058.40 feet) with a center span of 185 meters (606.96 feet). It was named after Senator Marcelo Fernan, a political figure from Cebu City.
