Guicam Bridge is a 1.2 km (0.75 mi) concrete girder bridge being planned for construction between the towns of Alicia and Mabuhay in Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines. The bridge will connect Olutanga Island and its three municipalities of Mabuhay, Talusan, and Olutanga with the rest of Mindanao Island, which are separated by the Canalizo Strait. Once completed, it will be the longest bridge in Mindanao (a record previously held by Macapagal Bridge in Butuan, Agusan del Norte) until the completion of the 3.77 km (2.34 mi) Panguil Bay Bridge between Tangub, Misamis Occidental and Tubod, Lanao del Norte.[4]
