The story
Origins and historical context
بُني الجسر التاريخي في العهد الشيباني حين كانت قرشي مدينة واحة مهمة على طرق جنوب بلاد ما وراء النهر. Official regional sources date it to the sixteenth century.
Architecture and evidence
Multiple brick arches carry the long roadway across the river channel. The bridge remained useful into the twentieth century and has undergone repair and landscaping.
Change, conservation and interpretation
