Patapat Viaduct -- Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.
CONSTRUCTED IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF FERDINAND MARCOS
4th Longest Bridge in the Philippines ..
It connects the town of Pagudpud to Cagayan Valley..
If there is something notable in Ilocos aside from amazing beaches and panoramic mountains, it is the wide concrete roads. Ferdinand Marcos makes sure Ilocandia got that. So a viaduct in Ilocos would not be surprising. However, what makes the Patapat Viaduct amazing is, they not only construct it wide, they also make it poetic.
The Patapat Viaduct, located at the municipality of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte is a scenic elevated highway snaking around the coast at the foot of the North Cordillera Mountain Range. It was constructed to connect the Maharlika Highway from Laoag, Ilocos Norte to the Cagayan Valley Region. Its piers rest on spread footings founded on outcropping bedrock.
