So sad!! At this time and age we still think ferry is most efficient way to cross this small stretch!!! I think a bridge is long overdue!!

PK mentioned early this week in an interview that this is one of his priorities...


I said so before PK that we need a suspension bridge-gate or a hydraulically operated bridge to allow Steamers to pass through.

What is a suspension bridge GATE?


This is a special purpose bridge suspended over a large mass of water and with an electrically actuated hydraulic gate; an operator through some levers actuates the gate to open hence allowing a big Ship/Steamer to pass through the gate while the traffic is stopped at either side of the highway.

Huyu atalala na joto.

Somebody tell me 'A ship can't come to an abrupt stop if a bridge is in the vicinity?
Cz many container ships keep getting stuck under bridges and destroying containers.

By their very nature of design, suspension bridges cannot be discontinuous in mid span. They therefore can not be openable in the middle.
