Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard is a modern eight-lane road parallel to Roxas Boulevard running from CCP Complex, Pasay City to Marina Subdivision, Parañaque City, both in Metro Manila. It was named after former President Diosdado Macapagal. It is located in the reclamation areas. This road has 3 major bridges, crossing the 'channels', of which the largest is the Libertad Channel, where the Libertad Water Pumping Station is situated. Thanks to intersection reconfiguring around EDSA to relieve traffic, Macapagal Boulevard is now often used to access the SM Mall of Asia, Manila to the north and Cavite to the south. It is also the main major road in Reclamation Area.

History

The Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard construction started in 1984 and ended in 1998, the year after Diosdado Macapagal's death in 1997.

Senate Inquiry

The boulevard was a subject to certain controversy, when a Senate inquiry was conducted due to overpricing, dubbing it as the "Most Expensive Boulevard in the World".
