Como muchos otros de los puentes de la zona, éste tiene también origen romano y ha sido posteriormente modificado o reparado a lo largo de su prolongada historia. El poblamiento de este territorio se inicia con los Turmódigos, un pueblo ibérico prerromano, y, desde entonces, la villa ha visto discurrir una importante historia, siendo poblada por romanos, visigodos y árabes, hasta que alcanza su punto más señalado con la presencia del conde Fernán González, primer conde de Castilla.

Se tiene constancia de que el puente sufrió modificaciones y reparaciones al menos en 1630, por parte de Pedro Barón de Berrieza, y en 1639, realizadas por Pérez de Rivas.
