The original crossing over the San Antonio Canal was created as an embankment in 1520, making it the first crossing there. At the beginning of the 17th century, part of the bridge was reconstructed and Fort San Antonio was built on its north side. In 1894, the crossing was replaced by a wrought-iron structure, and in 1926 that gave way to a concrete bridge of five separate spans. The bridge was named for Guillermo Esteves, then Commissioner of Public Works, and it is considered the most important bridge in Puerto Rico for its historical associations.
