Editor's Note
The bridge was built on a north-south axis spanning both banks of the stream that runs through the middle of the village. It is a single-arch, single-span bridge. On its western face, part of the arch and the wall stones can be seen to have collapsed. Finely cut stone was used in the arch and the walls. Dating: this bridge may well have been built earlier than the other one. Given that the mosque dates to 1149 AH / 1736 CE, it is reasonable to conclude that this structure too was built in the 18th century.
