Bridge number 23 had previously been assigned to the bridge along Herengracht over Warmoesgracht in the centre of Amsterdam. When the Warmoesgracht was filled in 1894, to make way for the Raadhuisstraat, the old bridge was demolished, and number 23 became available for use again.
Since 1929 bridge 23 has been located in the Kinkerstraat and spans the Bilderdijkgracht in Amsterdam West.
