Uzunköprü Bridge, Ottoman stone arch bridge in Edirne Province, Turkey.
The Uzunköprü Bridge extends 1392 meters across the Ergene River with 174 arches made of limestone blocks connected by Khorasan mortar.
Sultan Murad II ordered the construction of this bridge between 1427 and 1443 to replace a wooden structure that had deteriorated over time.
The bridge features decorative stone carvings depicting lions, elephants, and geometric patterns that reflect the artistic heritage of both Ottoman and Seljuk periods.
The structure underwent major restoration work in 2021, leading to its closure for preservation efforts and the redirection of traffic to a nearby concrete bridge.
This engineering masterwork holds the distinction of being the longest stone bridge in Turkey, measuring 6.80 meters in width throughout its span.
