At the end of the bridge on Rajavinit Mathayom School side is four-way intersection that is the meeting point of Rama V and Phitsanulok Roads, called Phanitchayakan Intersection (แยกพาณิชยการ).

In the year 1901, Princess Valaya Alongkorn was 15 years old and entered the 17th year, compared to her older brothers, who had died, the two are Prince Maha Vajirunhis and Prince Sommatiwongse Varodaya. She then built a bridge to be a charity devoted to both of her older brothers who had died earlier with age 17.

When it was completed, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) gave the official name that "Chamai Maru Chet" means that "older brothers who was a both deity" (Chamai is Khmer word means "both" or "twice", and Maru Chet is two Thai words that mean "deceased brother" or "brother who was a deity"). The opening ceremony was held on January 16, 1902.[1]
