Seaside Drive

Macapagal Boulevard, also known as President Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard and Macapagal Avenue, is an eight-lane road in Metro Manila, Philippines, running parallel to Roxas Boulevard from the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex in Pasay to Asia World City in Parañaque. It is named after former Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal. This road has three major bridges, crossing the 'channels', of which the largest is the Libertad Channel, where the Libertad Water Pumping Station is situated. After the intersection reconfiguring around EDSA to relieve traffic, Macapagal Boulevard is now often used to access the SM Mall of Asia to the north and Cavite to the south. It is also the main major road in Metro Manila's reclamation area, Bay City.

Route description

Macapagal Boulevard northbound as seen from the NAIA Expressway off-ramp

Macapagal Boulevard commences at the intersection with Gil Puyat Avenue Extension near the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex in Pasay as the logical continuation of Magdalena Jalandoni Street. It heads south across Financial Center consisting of the World Trade Center Metro Manila at the intersection and the Philippine National Bank headquarters. South of the Libertad channel, the boulevard enters Central Business Park 1-A, the location of Metropolitan Park and the SM Central Business Park, intersecting with Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) before entering the Aseana City development. At Asean Avenue, Macapagal traverses the Entertainment City gaming complex with Solaire Resort & Casino and City of Dreams Manila (formerly Belle Grande Manila), dominating this stretch to Seaside Drive, an extension of NAIA Road. Near the Seaside Boulevard junction at Central Business Park 2 are the NAIA Expressway ramps that provide access to Ninoy Aquino International Airport and connect it to the Metro Manila Skyway. It crosses Pacific Avenue near Marina Baytown East village, where most traffic turns left towards the Manila–Cavite Expressway. Macapagal Boulevard ends at the southern coast of Asiaworld, with the Las Piñas–Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area as the terminating vista.
