The latest interlink bridge project aims to connect the Provinces of Bataan and Cavite,  lessen the travel time between two provinces, and ease traffic congestion going to Metro Manila. According to the department's statement from its Facebook page, the detailed engineering design (DED) activities for the mega bridge project will be carried out in the next 15 months. DPWH Secretary Mark Villar said that the Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge Project would provide economic opportunities for growth and support the development of seaports in Cavite and Bataan as a premier international shipping gateway to the country.
