Cebu's landmark: Marcelo Fernan Bridge

Spanning across Mactan Channel, Marcelo Fernan Bridge connects Cebu Island & Mactan Island. Marcelo Fernan Bridge was opened in August 1999 to ease the congested traffic from the older Mactan-Mandaue Bridge. With a total length of 1,237 meters, it currently stands as the 6th longest bridge in the Philippines after the Metro Manila Skyway (1st), Candaba Viaduct (2nd), San Juanico Bridge (3rd), Asingan-Sta. Maria Bridge (4th), and Patapat Viaduct (5th).
