In middle of the nineteenth century, European merchants used Chinese junks to smuggle goods and opium to the mainland. The Viceroy of Liangguang ordered a checkpoint be set up in the water channel between Hong Kong and Macau. Due to the replenishment need for the customs ships, the stone bridge was proposed to built and named after a nearby river: Lung Tsun. Gambling was allowed in Hong Kong between 1867 and 1871, but was prohibited in 1872. The casinos moved to Kowloon Walled City. As a nearby pier, the Lung Tsun Stone Bridge become a hotspot for the foreign gamblers.〔(舊機場發現龍津石橋遺蹟 )《蘋果日報》2008年6月21日,香港〕 Construction on the bridge began in 1873 and was completed in 1875.〔 The bridge was about long,〔(Civil Engineering and Development Department, Kowloon Development Office, "Agreement No. CE 35/2006(CE).

It was divided into south and north.〔吴偉鴻,(九龍龍津橋考古發現 )〕 Due to mud deposition, the length of the pier was extended to with wood. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the bridge was covered up when the Kai Tak Airport was expanded.
