ON August 28 and 29, 2026, two of the most iconic bridges in Tarlac City collapsed due to the raging current brought about by the Southwest Monsoon rains, most popularly known as Habagat.
The two bridges, connect the Poblacion area of the City to its western barangays, to the five municipalities of the province namely San Clemente, Camiling, Sta. Ignacia, Mayantoc and San Jose and to the province of Pangasinan.
It practically cut-off the western barangays and municipalities from Tarlac City proper as alternate routes will take hours to traverse from the usual few minutes.
But when was these two iconic bridges constructed?
First, the Agana Bridge---it was named after former Tarlac Governor Marcelino Agana who served from 1928 to 1931.
Agana is most remembered for the construction of the Calero Bridge in the then capital municipality of Tarlac, Tarlac. The bridge, constructed in the mid-1940โs, connects the barrios Carangian and Tibag thereby connects all the barrios and western towns of Tarlac.
