Pembangunan : Jembatan Sebelumnya
Keterangan
After Iwakuni Castle was completed in 1608 by Kikkawa Hiroie, the first lord of Iwakuni Domain,
a series of wooden bridges were built. However, most of them were
destroyed by floods several times before the construction of the iconic
Kintai Bridge.

Pembangunan : Baru
Keterangan
Kintai Bridge was built by the third lord, Kikkawa Hiroyoshi
in 1673. The new stone piers replaced the old wooden ones. Though
thought to be flood-proof; the bridge was destroyed by a flood the next
year. As a result, the stone piers were redesigned for greater strength,
and a special tax was created to maintain the bridge. This maintenance
involved periodic rebuilding of the bridge: every 20 years for 3 spans
in the middle, every 40 years for 2 spans connecting to the riverside.
Consequently, the bridge remained undestroyed for 276 years

Kerusakan : Runtuh karena Banjir
Keterangan
washed away again by flooding from typhoon "Kijia" in 1950. It had been
in a weakened state at the time, due to the fact that the Japanese had
stopped maintaining the bridge during World War II, and that the year before the typhoon, a large amount of gravel was taken by the US Military Force from the river around the bridge to expand the US Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni, strengthening the flow of the river
