Running Across Atugan Bridge


Atugan Bridge, located along Sayre Highway, Impasugong, Bukidnon, is said to be the highest bridge in the Philippines. According to the Official Website of the Province of Bukidnon, it has a depth of 64.5 meters from top roadway to bottom of footings. Atugan Bridge was built using the balanced cantilever principle and simultaneous casting of piers. It crosses the Atugan Canyon and is regularly passed along by vehicles traversing the Cagayan de Oro-Bukidnon-Davao route. 

Last September 1, I got the chance to cross Atugan Bridge on foot when I joined the SPED Tri 30+ Run which started from Kisolon, Sumilao and ended in Malaybalay City. It was indeed a rare chance to run across the country's highest bridge, so I took the opportunity to take photos along the way.

Random Shots: Malaybalay to Cagayan de Oro City (and Back)

The view while passing by Atugan Bridge

These are photos taken while I'm on my way way to Cagayan de Oro City on board the RTMI aircon bus.

Since the bus moves at a very fast speed, it is very hard to focus on the subjects to get decent shots. However, I still managed to get a few good ones which I believe showcased some of the best scenery that Bukidnon has to offer. (Click the photo to view the full size of the image.)
