The first bridge over the Yauco River was built in 1862 according to the design of Engineer Timoteo Luberza. It was made of wood and masonry and was called Cristóbal Colón. Between 1912 and 1914, a bridge was installed that was commonly called Puente Colorao. The third bridge over the Yauco River was built in 1992, structurally designed by the González-Hidalgo Firm. The architectural design was donated by architect Jerry Torres Santiago at the request of the commission for the historic zone of Yauco.
