The bridge is widely known as Phra Phuttha Yodfa Bridge and shortly called Saphan Phut. It was the second bridge built across The Chao Phraya River, and opened on April 6, 1932 in the reign of King RAMA VII. It was built in the occasion of 150th anniversary of Bangkok to commemorate Somdet Phra Phuttha Yodfa Chulalok The Great(King RAMA I), The founder of Bangkok. The bridge was built of iron structure with openable pavement for passing ships. After restoration in 1986, the pavement was permanently fixed and cannot open any more. At one side of the bridge is the statue of king RAMA I, built together with the bridge. The statue was designed by Prince Narissara Nuwatthiwong, and casted by professor Silpa Phirasri
