PATAPAT VIADUCT | Taririk sa Norte, June 25, 2024

Awed by this 1.3 km long scenic elevated highway connecting Maharlika Highway from Ilocos Region to Cagayan Valley. The 30.9 ft wide viaduct at the municipality of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte located at the foot of North Cordillera Mountain Rsnge was completed and first opened to traffic in October 1986. It is considered as one of the legacies of the administration of Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos.
Thankful to the Carpios (and Mendozas) and to Bobet for this great experience.
