In the years between the late Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, the surrounding area of the bridge was sometimes prosperous and sometimes poor. In 1435 (Ming Dynasty), a magistrate of a prefecture () named Wang Yuan had it reconstructed. When it was finished, the west bridge had 10 piers supporting 9 spans and the east bridge had 13 piers supporting 12 spans, with 24 boats in between. There were 126 rooms in the pavilions on the bridge. The bridge was named Guangji Bridge.
