The Candaba Viaduct, also known as the Pulilan–Apalit Bridge and the Candaba Pampanga Viaduct, is a 5-kilometer (3.1 mi) viaduct carrying the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) across the Candaba Swamp in the provinces of Pampanga and Bulacan, Philippines. It consists of nine lanes (three northbound and six southbound). ItRead more
was the longest bridge in the Philippines upon its opening in 1977 until it was surpassed in 2021 by the 8.9 km Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), making the viaduct the second-longest bridge in the country. The viaduct was designed by Aas-Jakobsen and built by Construction Development Corporation of the Philippines (CDCP, later renamed to Philippine National Construction Corporation) as part of construction of the whole NLEX.
Overlooking Mount Arayat to the east and the Zambales Mountains and province of Bataan to the west, the viaduct is raised over Candaba Swamp and Pampanga River by 20 feet (6.1 m), about the same as the current elevation of Bacolor, also in Pampanga, after lahars that resulted from the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo affected the municipality from 1991 to 1995, which keeps the highway open to traffic, even when the swamp gets flooded during the rainy or monsoon season. Lighting, emergency callboxes and CCTVs along the viaduct are powered by solar panels due to the problem of installing power lines within the viaduct.
