Our route to the airport was via the Marcelo Fernan Bridge (the second bridge connecting Cebu and Mactan Islands). While on the bridge, I saw this opportunity to take a photo. That photo shows all three bridges currently connecting the two largest islands of Cebu Province. 

In the distance is the CCLEX Bridge (Cebu – Cordova Bridge) that connects Cebu City’s South Reclamation Project (SRP) and the town of Cordova in Mactan Island. CCLEX is a cable stayed bridge and the third to connect Cebu and Mactan. Closer is the first Mactan-Mandaue Bridge or simply First Bridge is a steel truss bridge. The bridge we were on, the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, is also a cable stayed bridge.

A fourth bridge is planned and should soon be constructed to the north of the second bridge.
