The exact date of the current bridge is not known, even though historians place its construction around the 14th-15th centuries, replacing or modifying an earlier bridge, possibly Roman, related to the 19th road of the Antonine itinerary, which connected Braga with Lugo and crossed the "Pons Vellegia" (Pontevea) coming from Aquis Celenis (Cuntis).

The medieval bridge of Pontevea is an interprovincial bridge that for hundreds of years has been the only access road to Compostela from the Val do Vea lands. Its architectural characteristics reveal a Romanesque-ogival construction, with six masonry arches, three semicircular and another three slightly pointed, supported by five large pillars, with triangular cutwaters upstream and trapezoidal downstream. The bridge has a certain slope from the central pillar and a slight curve coinciding with this same pillar.
