Ayala Land Inc, Eton Properties PH Inc unveil Parklinks' iconic bridge

AN estate that embodies a sustainable, healthier way to live, work and play, Parklinks will be the biggest mixed-use development along the prime C5 corridor at 35 hectares. It is also touted as Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and Eton Properties Philippines Inc.'s (EPPI) greenest urban estate in Metro Manila, with 50 percent of the land dedicated to open spaces.

One of the estate's most distinctive features is the Parklinks Bridge. Inspired by modern European bridges, Parklinks bridge simulates a cable-stayed bridge with a 40-meter high arch that diagonally spans the 110-meter long and 25-meter wide road deck structure. The bridge connects Quezon City and Pasig City over the Marikina River. Both companies envisioned not only a functional landmark but also one that would signify harmony, as it bridges two major cities together. Pedestrians and bikers can also access the bridge freely through the designated lanes, thereby allowing everyone to enjoy safe and convenient commute within and around the urban hub.
