In October 2019, it was designated as a "Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in Anhui" by the State Council.
On July 7, 2020, Zhenhai Bridge was destroyed in the 2020 China floods. During salvage works, stones of the original Ming dynasty bridge were found. In December 2020, reconstruction of the bridge began, which was completed one year later.
