It is named after Manuel Dimech and was officially inaugurated on 18 September 1971 by the Minister of Public Works, Lorry Sant.

The bridge is approximately 130m long and 32m wide, and spans over Wied Għomor.

The bridge is notable for hosting a secret meeting in the middle of the night between the then Prime Minister of Malta Eddie Fenech Adami and delinquent "Żeppi l-Ħafi" (literally Żeppi the barefoot).

During the meeting, the two discussed about whether Żeppi should be given an immunity, even though Żeppi had done serious crimes back then including attempted murder, cocaine trafficking and burglary.
