Banban Bridge is a highway bridge in Central Luzon, Philippines[1] which is part of the MacArthur Highway (N2).[2]
The bridge was constructed from 1996 to 1998[2] as part of the rehabilitation efforts on National Highway 3 following the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. It is one of the longest basket handle Nielsen-Lohse bridges in the world spanning a 174m (571feet) long and is one of the first of its kind in the Philippines.[3]
