[3] The Midpoint Memorial Bridge was constructed as part of the extension of Colonial Boulevard into Cape Coral.

The addition of the Midpoint Memorial Bridge resulted in several ancillary road projects in Fort Myers.

Florida's statewide SunPass prepaid electronic toll collection system is accepted on the Midpoint Bridge, along with Lee County's Leeway prepaid toll system, which is also used on the Cape Coral Bridge and the Sanibel Causeway.

On the Cape Coral side of the bridge, there is a replica of the statue from the Marine Corps War Memorial in Rosslyn, Virginia (which is just outside Washington, D.C.).

The statue depicts the six U.S Marines raising the American flag at the Battle of Iwo Jima.
