Entry to be expanded. This is a skeleton entry: at present it guarantees only that the fields and sources are complete. Still to be added: the number of arches and their spans, the dates of construction and of successive repairs, the relation between the bridge's name and the place name Putang, the condition of the surviving structure, and the gazette notices for the provincial and national listings. Until then, no unverified structural data will be entered.
