Irgandı Bridge, Ottoman covered bridge in Bursa Province, Turkey.

The stone bridge spans the Gökdere tributary with a central arch measuring 16 meters in length and 11 meters in width.

Built in 1442 during Murat II's reign, merchant Müslihiddin commissioned architect Timurtaş to construct this bridge connecting Osmangazi and Yıldırım districts.

The bridge incorporates a traditional bazaar structure with two rows of shops, reflecting the commercial importance of Bursa in the 15th century.

Following restoration in 2004, the bridge maintains 18 active shops while allowing pedestrian traffic between the eastern and central parts of Bursa.

The structure includes warehouses beneath the shops and formerly contained rooms for merchants, bridge guards, and horse accommodation.
