Chaussée romaine de Djerba, Roman road in Medenine Governorate, Tunisia.
The ancient road stretches 7.5 kilometers across water, connecting the island of Djerba to mainland Tunisia through engineering from the Roman period.
Built in the late second century on previous Punic foundations, this road linked ancient Meninx to Pons Zitha and facilitated regional transportation networks.
Medieval fortifications along the route include Borj El Bab in the middle and Borj El Kantara at the Djerba entrance, representing architectural evolution.
The road underwent reconstruction in 2006 with a 160-meter concrete bridge that enables water circulation and fish migration in the Boughrara lagoon.
During the 1551 conflict, corsair Dragut ordered the road's partial destruction to create an escape channel for his fleet into open waters.
