The well-preserved footbridge lies in the Arapsuyu district, 5–6 km west to the city center, at the foot of an ancient mound which is associated with the Greek colony of Olbia.

[1] Partly submerged by a modern weir about 100 m downstream, the exact form of its masonry arch is difficult to determine.

According to George Bean, the slightly pointed arch indicates a post-ancient construction date.

[1] Colin O'Connor, however, classifies the bridge as a Roman segmental arch bridge, examples of which have survived in the neighbouring province Lycia (such as the Limyra Bridge).
