Sangarius Bridge, Roman bridge in Sakarya Province, Turkey
The limestone structure extends 429 meters across the Sakarya River with seven main arches and additional smaller arches at both ends.
Emperor Justinian I commissioned this bridge in 559 AD to establish a secure military route connecting Constantinople with the eastern territories.
The bridge piers contained Christian cross decorations and included a triumphal arch at the western entrance with a religious shrine.
The bridge structure incorporates spillways through five smaller arches at each end to manage water overflow during flooding periods.
The ancient poems of Paul the Silentiaire and Agathias from 562 AD document the completion of this engineering achievement.
