It was met with controversies, citing capacity constraints on the Mandaluyong side landing in a two-lane street and the long project duration originally expected to last 30 months.

On April 23, 2021, DPWH announced the final concrete pouring and completion of the second bridge's substructure and superstructure.

President Rodrigo Duterte inaugurated the newly expanded ₱1.46 billion bridge on July 29, 2021, and it was reopened to vehicular traffic on the same day.
