Buntun Bridge

The Buntun Bridge (Itawit: Talletay ta Buntun; Ilocano: Rangtáy ti Buntun; Filipino: Tulay ng Buntun) is a river bridge that stretches from Tuguegarao City to Solana in Cagayan and spans the Cagayan River, the largest river basin in the Philippines. It forms part of the Santiago–Tuguegarao Road (des

ignated as N51 by the Department of Public Works and Highways highway routing system), a major junction of the Pan-Philippine Highway. It was the longest bridge in the Philippines upon its opening in 1969, surpassed in 1973 by the San Juanico Bridge. A popular belief is that the bridge is long enough for a person to recite the entire Philippine National Anthem while traversing.
