The Muxing Bridge was reconstructed from a wooden bridge into a reinforced concrete bridge in the 1960s and was rebuilt again in 1988.

The bridge is currently a four-lane two-way bridge with sidewalks. Both ends of the bridge have a stone tablet, one of which records the bridge's reconstructions and another at the entrance of the 20-hectare Jiangjun Park.
