Kharaba Bridge, Roman bridge in Hauran region, Syria

The Kharaba Bridge stretches 25 meters in length and features three semi-circular arches measuring 3.8 meters each, with wide piers of 2.4 meters across.

Built during the Roman period between the 3rd and 4th century AD, this bridge formed part of the transportation network connecting settlements in ancient Syria.

The construction methods and materials of Kharaba Bridge demonstrate the Roman engineering adaptations to local conditions through the use of regional black-green basalt.

Located 3.5 kilometers northwest of Bosra, the bridge spans 4.52 meters in width and crosses the Wadi Zeidi, a tributary of the Yarmuk river.

The eastern section of the bridge contains a square floodway reinforced by a column with a distinctive capital, differing from standard Roman bridge designs.

Made from material: stone
