The bridge was built in the Ly Dynasty after the court dug a canal to carry water from the Red River to irrigate a vast area of Son Nam town.

The only path to the Co Le Pagoda, the largest Buddhist temple in the area, built in the reign of King Ly Than Tong (who ruled from 1127 to 1138), 4 kilometers from the village, was cut off by the new canal, making travel difficult for Buddhists. A rich woman, who did not have any children, built the bridge.

The bridge has five compartments, more than 10 meters long, 4 meters wide, 3 meters high from the floor, with wood podiums along the two sides. The bridge was initially roofed by sedge but today sedge has been replaced by palm leaves.

The bridge was repaired several times in 1883, 1904 and 2014. The time of repairis carved in Chinese characters.
