The postponement was made to allow for further consultation with concerned stakeholders. As a result, 30-ton trucks and other heavy vehicles will remain restricted to the designated nighttime window until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorists and truck operators are reminded to strictly observe safety regulations while crossing the bridge. These include maintaining a <strong>maximum speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour<\/strong> and keeping a <strong>minimum distance of 40 meters<\/strong> between vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities thanked the public and the transport sector for their understanding and cooperation, emphasizing that the measures are aimed at balancing economic activity with public safety and infrastructure preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30-Tons-weight-allowed-to-cross-San-Juanico-Bridge-at-night-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"San Juanico Bridge Nighttime Passage of 30 Ton vehicle weight\" class=\"wp-image-547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30-Tons-weight-allowed-to-cross-San-Juanico-Bridge-at-night-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30-Tons-weight-allowed-to-cross-San-Juanico-Bridge-at-night-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30-Tons-weight-allowed-to-cross-San-Juanico-Bridge-at-night-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30-Tons-weight-allowed-to-cross-San-Juanico-Bridge-at-night-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/30-Tons-weight-allowed-to-cross-San-Juanico-Bridge-at-night.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nighttime Passage Approved for 30-Ton Trucks on San Juanico Bridge Starting Dec. 17.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nighttime crossing guidelines allow 30-ton trucks on the San Juanico Bridge from 10 PM to 5 AM starting December 17, 2025, with strict safety measures in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":547,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,136],"tags":[229,230,233,236,231,232,235,193,237,234],"class_list":["post-548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eastern-visayas-communities","category-eastern-visayas-regional-update","tag-30-tons-vehicle-weight","tag-30-ton-trucks","tag-bridge-safety","tag-gvw-limits","tag-heavy-vehicle-regulation","tag-nighttime-traffic","tag-philippine-transport-news","tag-san-juanico-bridge","tag-traffic-advisory","tag-truck-crossing-schedule"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":549,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions\/549"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalphilippines.net\/evc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
