Damaged Tarlac bridge prolongs travel from Manila, Pangasinan

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan: If you are travelling by bus to western Pangasinan towns from Metro Manila or from provinces south of Pangasinan, your commute will be at least two hours longer.

This is because the 30-meter bridge connecting San Clemente, Tarlac and Mangatarem, Pangasinan was found to have a damaged deck slab, prompting the Department of Public Works and Highways to impose a 5-ton load limit on the bridge.
