The date of construction of the stone bridge is unknown, however the first mention of the bridge is found in the land register of Ronzeria in 1432. This bridge allows crossing of the Sornin, a tributary river of the Loire. In 1733 a text mentions repairs carried out on the bridge. Its deck was widened in 1861 and in 1938 the southern piers were consolidated.
