Its story
Construction of the bridge, where the Fevzipaşa–Kurtalan railway crosses the Göksu Stream, began on July 17, 1927, and was completed in March 1929 after 20 months of work. Designed by German engineers, the bridge has 12 piers and 7 arches; it is 280 meters long and 35 meters high. The exterior of its steel piers is clad in stone. A walkway was added alongside it in 2005, and the bridge is registered as a cultural property requiring protection. Cracks that formed in its piers after the 2023 earthquakes were repaired within a year.
