Koşa Bridge
Şefaatli, Yozgat
A historic stone bridge with pointed arches over the Aksu in central Şefaatli, today reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.
Its story
The Koşa Bridge is in the Şefaatli district center, over the Aksu river. It is about 35 meters long and 7.4 meters wide, with three pointed arches. Originally built with two spans, the bridge's third span to the south was added in reinforced concrete in 1965, and in the 1989 restoration this section was clad in stone. The marble inscription on the cutwater on the west facade shows that the bridge was repaired in 1906. Closed to vehicle traffic with the latest restoration, the bridge is today open only to pedestrians and cyclists.
