Intan City Bridge is located at Jalan Nelayan Barat, West Jakarta. It's the old bridge in Jakarta that has a large role in the development of history of the city. It had changed its name several times before it was called Jembatan Kota Intan according to the era. Originally in 1628 this bridge was built under the name of
"Engelse Brug" (English Bridge), because it connected the Dutch fortress that lay opposite each other, bordered by Ciliwung River. In 1628 and 1629 there was an attack from Banten and Mataram againts the fortress Betawi causing damage on this bridge.
But it was rebuilt by the Dutch in 1630, and on that time it was known as "Jembatan Pasar Ayam" (Chicken Market Bridge). In 1655 this bridge was again reconstructed and named "Het Middelpunt Brug"
(The Center Bridge). In April 1938 it became a drawbridge that can be lifted for boat traffic and for preventing from the flood that happen often. Nevertheless, the snape and style were unchanged, but the name was become "Juliana-Bernhard". After the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence, its name was changed into "
Jembatan Kota Intan", suitable to local position.
