Preparation work for the flyover began in 1997, when the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) announced the construction of two new primary access points to the Bonifacio Global City, with the flyover serving as the main western access point to the area.

Designed by Katahira & Engineers Asia,[1] actual construction of the flyover began in late 1997, starting with the segment between Gil Puyat Avenue and EDSA, contracted to the Uy-Pajara Construction Company.

Capable of holding up to 4,000 vehicles at one time,[4] the flyover would reduce travel times between Makati and the Bonifacio Global City to five minutes by providing a direct connection between the two business districts instead of needing to route vehicles through EDSA.

[5] The 1.5-kilometer (0.93 mi) flyover was inaugurated by President Joseph Estrada and other government officials on January 25, 2000.

[7] Despite being a flyover, the entire road is designated as National Route 191 (N191) of the Philippine highway network.
