The Patapat Viaduct is an elevated, winding highway at the Northwestern tip of Luzon Island, which is the biggest island in the Philippines. The bridge weaves around coastal hills which mark one end of Luzon's Cordillera Mountain Range, and connects the provinces of Ilocos Norte and Cagayan Valley. The Patapat Viaduct needs a couple of viewing platforms along its 1.3 kilometer length, however, where tourists can safely stop to appreciate its construction, and enjoy the magnificent view of lush, steep hills and an utterly empty sea.

That looks like a sensational drive!! But what a shame the engineers & builders didn't think ahead to the tourists who would LOVE to stop and admire both their artwork and the beauty around it!
Amazing.
A really beautiful way.
I'm so sorry for the loss of life and limb and home caused by Bopha.
This bridge is wonderful and astonishing. With it's scenery the drive must be very impressive.
Looks like an excellent construction.
