CLARO M. RECTO BRIDGE 1

The Claro M Recto Bridge 1 is a road bridge that crosses the Estero De San Lazaro River. The overall condition of existing structure of the bridge CM recto bridge 1 was found out to be in poor state based on the structural assessment and detailed investigation of DPWH North Manila Engineering Office.

In preparation for the "Big One", a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that could hit the Greater Manila, DPWH decided for the retrofitting of structures using carbon fiber sheet including crack repair using epoxy injection/mortar for the strengthening and helps to increase the lifespan of the Bridge.
