[2] The location is now the site of Cuartel or Camp Pantaleon Garcia, the Cavite headquarters of the Philippine National Police.
The outline of the sitting areas when viewed from the top, follows the shape of the central pier of the bridge where the eastward pointed end points toward the source of the river thus deflecting the flow of the incoming water to prevent erosion.
At the southern end of the bridge adjoining the entrance to the Cuartel is a monument to commemorate the Battle of Imus.
Construction of the bridge was started in 1856 during the governorship in Cavite of Col. Gabriel de Llamas and Governor-General Manuel Crespo.
On September 3, 1896 during the Battle of Imus, the northern span of the bridge was dismantled by the Filipino revolutionaries as an offense tactic to combat the Spanish soldiers coming in from Manila.
With the revolutionaries hidden behind trenches, the marching soldiers would not see the cut until they have traversed part of the span thus entrapping them.
There are no parks or public space where the side of the bridge and its stone arches can be viewed as the nearby land are private properties.
