BCDA starts rebuilding Pasig-Potrero bridge of SCTEX

The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has announced that it is close to completing preparatory work for the reconstruction of the Pasig-Potrero Bridge on the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) in Porac, Pampanga. The bridge, part of a $3 billion asset preservation project, requires repairs due to river degradation that has structurally compromised its stability. Officials confirmed that the diversion channels and support structures are nearly complete, with contractors working to install steel sheet piles. The bridge, which suffered damage in 2013 and a fatal accident in 2014, is set for reconstruction by January 2029 through a joint venture. The BCDA emphasized its role in protecting national infrastructure to support regional economic development.
