The '''San Juanico Bridge''', part of the [[Pan-Philippine Highway]], stretches from [[Samar (island)|Samar]] to [[Leyte (island)|Leyte]] across the [[San Juanico Strait]] in the [[Philippines]]. Its longest length is a steel girder viaduct built on reinforced concrete piers, and its main span is of an arch-shaped [[truss bridge|truss design]]. With a total length of {{convert|2.16|km|mi|sp=us}},<ref name=Cebunet>[http://living.cebunetwork.com/san-juanico-bridge-longest-in-philippines/2006/06/18/ Cebunetwork]</ref> it is the longest bridge in the Philippines spanning a body of seawater. It is considered one of the most beautifully designed bridges in Philippines.<ref>[http://www.tourism.gov.ph/explore_phil/place_details.asp?content=famousefor&province=44 Wow Philippines]</ref> The bridge has 43 spans and medium size boats can pass beneath its large main arch the top of which rises 41 meters above the sea.<ref name=Cebunet/> Construction commenced in 1969 over San Juanico Strait from Cabalawan, Tacloban City to the municipality of Santa Rita, Samar, with completion in 1973.<ref>{{cite book |last=Ellison |first=Katherine |title=Imelda: Steel Butterfly of the Philippines |year=1988 |publisher=McGrawHill |location=New York |isbn=971-08-4463-6| page=108}}</ref>
The [[Candaba Viaduct]] of [[Pampanga]] which forms part of the North Luzon Expressway is longer, but being a land bridge crossing a few streams, ponds, and a swamp which usually fills in rainy weather, is less impressive.
Connecting [[Tacloban City]] on the Leyte side and [[Santa Rita, Samar|Santa Rita]] town on the Samar side, it offers many picturesque views, especially of the San Juanico Strait with its thousand whirlpools as well as the islets of the province. It is approximately 10 minutes from downtown Tacloban City and is accessible by passenger jeepney, bus, motorcab or private vehicle.
Construction of the 21.9 million-[[United States dollar|dollar]] bridge was contracted to the Construction and Development Corporation of the Philippines (now the [[Philippine National Construction Corporation]]), which together with Japanese engineers conducted studies and designed the actual project.<ref>[http://www.batch2006.com/visit_san-juanico_bridge.htm San Juanico Information]</ref>
