Mes Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Shkodër municipality, Albania
The Mes Bridge extends 108 meters across the Kiri River with thirteen arches of varying sizes and reaches a height of fifteen meters.
Mehmet Pashe Bushati commissioned the construction of this bridge between 1755 and 1775 to establish a vital trade route connecting Shkodra with Kosovo.
The bridge structure demonstrates the expertise of Albanian master builders from Dibra who incorporated specific stone construction techniques into the design.
The Albanian Development Fund implemented improvements by constructing steps that allow visitors to access and examine the bridge structure closely.
The bridge construction occurred in two phases, beginning with the central arch measuring 21.5 meters, followed by additional arches on both sides.
