Hrazdan Gorge Aqueduct, Basalt stone aqueduct bridge in Kentron District, Yerevan, Armenia.

The Hrazdan Gorge Aqueduct extends 100 meters in length and 5 meters in width across the Hrazdan River, constructed with grey basalt stones.

Architect Rafael Israelyan designed this infrastructure project, which was completed between 1949 and 1950 to facilitate water transport across the gorge.

The aqueduct stands as a registered cultural heritage monument, representing mid-20th century Armenian engineering and architectural achievements.

The structure connects different sections of Yerevan while maintaining its original function of water transportation across the Hrazdan River valley.

Located at coordinates 40°10′44″N and 44°29′54″E, this dual-purpose structure serves both as an aqueduct and a bridge within the urban landscape.
