TACLOBAN CITY– In light of the recent travel restrictions imposed on the San Juanico Bridge, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the region has deployed free transportation services to assist affected commuters.
Since May 15, 2025, a total of nine service vehicles have been mobilized by the DPWH-8, with additional support from Tingog party-list, to provide onsite transport across the bridge.
This initiative aims to ease the burden on travelers affected by the temporary bridge weight limits.
Pick-Up/Drop-Off Points: Leyte side (Tacloban City): across Nitro Fuel Station, near Orly’s Inasal Restaurant and Samar side: Rotonda near the DPWH Weighbridge Station.
To further assist the public, the DPWH has also set up temporary passenger amenities at both ends of the bridge, including tents, portable toilets, and water dispensers.
These efforts reflect the agency’s commitment to public service and support during this period of disruption.
