The bridge was commissioned by the Amsterdam municipality^[2] and designed by engineer Cornelis Biemond [nl] (1899-1980) and architect Hendrikus Petrus Berlage (1856–1934); it was named after the latter. It was constructed from 1926 to 1931 and officially opened on 28 May 1932. It has been designated as a Rijksmonument (National Heritage Site) since 11 May 2008.^[1] The bridgekeeper's house carries the address Amsteldijk 134.
