The Binondo–Intramuros Bridge is a tied-arch bridge in Manila, Philippines that spans the Pasig River. It connects Muelle de Binondo in Binondo and in San Nicolas to Solana Street and Riverside Drive in Intramuros. The bridge has four lanes and exhibits a steel bowstring arch design with inclined arches. It has a length of 680 meters (2,230 ft).

The bridge is controversial due to its location at the historic center of Manila, near the San Agustin Church heritage site.

The bridge is a part of the ¥500 million RMB (₱3.6 billion) infrastructure grant by China under the Agreement on Economic and Technical Cooperation, which was agreed upon by China and the Philippines following a state visit of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to China in May 2017. On June 22, 2017, the Department of Public Works and Highways and the Chinese embassy signed a Minutes of Discussion regarding the full grant and financing the construction of the bridge.

By July 2017, the feasibility study for the bridge was completed.

Construction and opening
Edit
Construction was expected to begin within 2017. The DPWH Unified Project Management Office-Roads Management Cluster I will implement the construction of the bridge, while China Road and Bridge Corporation is the contractor of the project. The groundbreaking ceremony for the bridge led by President Rodrigo Duterte took place on July 17, 2018. The bridge was expected to be completed in September 2021, but was delayed to December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On April 5, 2022, President Rodrigo Duterte and other government officials inaugurated the bridge. It was opened on the same day.

Pedestrian stairways are currently being completed, with the actual stairways now being welded into place. These were not present during the bridge's inauguration due to logistic issues.
