The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has plans to make three new bridges that cross the Markina river. The DPWH has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding between it and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for a loan application for the construction of the said bridges. The estimated total cost of the project is said to be more than P9 billion in total. Two out of the three bridges will be located in Marikina City. These will be the J.P Rizal—Lopez Jaena Bridge and the Marcos Highway—St. Mary Bridge. The last of the three will be the Kabayani—Katipunan Avenue Extension Bridge which will be a connection point between Markina City and Quezon City allowing for faster travel between the two.
