PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has promised to ensure the completion of the bridge linking Bataan and Cavite on time, expressing confidence that the project would help decongest traffic in Metro Manila and open new opportunities in the region.

In his speech during the milestone ceremony of the Bataan–Cavite Interlink Bridge (BCIB) in Mariveles, Bataan on Friday, Marcos said he expects that the key infrastructure project would start construction by October this year.
