There is no record of the construction of the bridge but, according to an inscription about the restoration of the bridge in 1538, it was commissioned by Shahruh of Dulkadirids and was restored by his son Mehmet. Şahruh was the son of Bozkurt of Dulkadir. During a family dispute, Şahruh was punished by his uncle Shah Budak in the 1480s, so the bridge must have been built before 1480.
