Tunca Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Edirne, Turkey.

The Tunca Bridge extends 136.3 meters across the Tundzha River with ten arches supported by eleven stone abutments.

Commissioned by Ottoman official Ekmekçizade Ahmet Pasha, the bridge construction took seven years, from 1608 to 1615.

The architect Sedefkar Mehmet Aga, who designed the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul, created this bridge's engineering plan.

The bridge connects Edirne with Karaağaç district, featuring a 6.90-meter width that accommodates modern vehicle traffic.

New LED lighting systems illuminate the twelve vault-shaped arches at night, reducing energy consumption by fifty-three percent.
