Olympos Bridge October 2016 0554.jpg

Bridge and street
Of two abutments supporting the bridge crossing the river Alakır one is almost intact, another shows just the basement. The bridge was probably concave with three spans. It seems to have had two construction phases, a first in Roman Times (the notice gives no dates) the second (in the Early Christian Era) after an earthquake caused the bridge to collapse.
Across the bridge a street must have been connecting to it. I took some pictures there, the bridge not being very photogenic.
