Шаблон:Infobox bridge

The Agas-Agas Bridge is a prestressed concrete beam bridge on the Pan-Philippine Highway. The ₱1.024-billion bridge was funded partially by the Japan International Cooperation Agency. With a length of about Шаблон:Convert and a height of Шаблон:Convert above ground,[1] the center span of the structure measures Шаблон:Convert in length supported by two piers measuring Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert from the ground.[2]

The mountainous Agas-Agas section of the Pan-Philippine Highway in Southern Leyte is prone to landslides during heavy rains, much more when a typhoon strikes the province. The bridge was constructed in 2006 to avoid the troublesome section and cut down the driving time for motorists.[3]

Tourism

Seeing its high tourism potential the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) submitted to President Gloria Arroyo the plan to turn the bridge into a haven for enthusiasts of bungee jumping, paramotor, downhill skateboarding, zip-line, rappelling and other extreme sports. On August 9, 2009, the president signed the construction of the bungee jumping platform along the bridge as well as other tourism amenities.[4]

The Agas-Agas Bridge zipline, now known as "Zipline Leyte", opened in April 2011.[1] The twin zipline, one of the longest in the country at Шаблон:Convert, glides diagonally above the bridge and the riverine below it.[5] A Provincial Pavilion complete with a parking lot and food and souvenir kiosks has been constructed atop a promontory overlooking the deep ravine of the nearby gorge.[6] The Agas Agas Bridge also has a spacious parking space, food kiosks and a tourist pavilion.[7]
