The construction cost is worth P2.2 billion. It has a length of 908 m (2,979 ft), making it the longest bridge in Mindanao, and the second-longest cable-stayed bridge in the Philippines after the Marcelo Fernan Bridge that connects Cebu City and Mactan Island.
Macapagal Bridge was officially named after Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal when it was inaugurated in 2007.
