Abdal Bridge, Stone footbridge in Bursa Province, Turkey
The Abdal Bridge extends 70 meters across the Nilüfer River with twelve pointed arches made of local limestone and sandstone materials.
The bridge construction started in 1666 by merchant Abdal Çelebi and took three years to complete, connecting trading routes in the Ottoman period.
The structure carries the name of its builder Abdal Çelebi, who studied under the spiritual guidance of Niyâzî-i Mısrî, reflecting Ottoman patronage traditions.
Since 1978, the bridge serves exclusively as a pedestrian crossing, measuring 4.8 meters in width and connecting the Acemler and Hürriyet districts.
The bridge maintains two guard points with a mihrab niche and fender piles on its northern section, features uncommon in Ottoman bridge architecture.
