The Roxas City Bridge is one of the historical landmarks of the city. Built by the Americans way back in 1905, it withstood the tests of time.
There was a time that the city officials thought of expanding the bridge to accommodate the growing traffic. The idea met a lot of resistance.
This year, under the leadership of a newly elected Mayor, the bridge had a facelift, in time for the celebration of city fiesta and perhaps also for Christmas.
The colorful lights attached on the side of the bridge makes it more attractive to look at at night.

Thanks, Fortune. Yes, indeed it looks festive. These lights were installed and lighted for the city fiesta last December 8.
seems beautiful bridge , thanks for sharing
Thanks, Witty. I always wanted to share what’s good in our city. :).
Great picture, old bridges are so cool! Do you cross the bridge often>?
Thanks, DocAnderson. Yes, I cross that bridge every day. The city is actually divided by the Panay River in which this bridge is built over. There are two new bridges a few kilometers from this one. But this one is located right in front of the city plaza and the church with the Provincial Capitol on one side and the City Hall on the other.
Is traffic around the bridge bad? Where I live bridges are always full of traffic!
Good history is taken good care of.
The bridge looks stunning.
Love the lights at night.
Thanks, Carol. Yea, those lights made the bridge look more attractive at night.
