Bridge is immensely important because it gives access to go to different places.

Bridge also allows people in different communities to connect together and accept
diversity. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of constructing a bridge at
Manubog River to address the problems such as difficulty in crossing the river resulting to
unsafe travel for the residents, high maintenance for vehicles and time consumed for travel
is high causing slow mobilization of crops and high fare rates. In the design, three
alternatives namely Flat Slab Reinforced Concrete Bridge, Reinforced Concrete Deck
Girder (RCDG) Bridge and Steel I-Girder Bridge, were presented for comparison. The
researchers recommend the construction of Reinforced Concrete Deck Girder (RCDG)
Bridge since it has lower maintenance, high compressive strength, long life-span and
economical. Researchers also recommend the construction of slope protection or flood
protection on both upstream and downstream of the bridge to avoid soil erosion and to
make the flow of water uniform.
