ORTIGAS & Company, along with the Pasig City local government, led the groundbreaking ceremony for the Circulo Verde Bridge last week.

The bridge will provide a direct link between Pasig City and Circulo Verde, a 10-hectare mixed-use development of Ortigas & Company. It is designed and will be constructed by NWSteel Technologies, Inc., while Design Coordinates Inc. will be the project manager.

The Circulo Verde Bridge will have a cable-stayed road design spanning 130 meters in length and 19.2 meters wide. It will have four lanes for vehicular access with dedicated lanes for pedestrians and bikers.

“The bridge will provide a convenient and accessible connection between Pasig City and our mixed-use estate, Circulo Verde, and vice versa. It will help ease traffic and greatly benefit the communities within and around Circulo Verde and Manggahan,” Ortigas & Company President and CEO Jaime E. Ysmael said in a statement.

The company said the Circulo Verde Bridge is expected to be completed by the second half of 2020.
