Malabadi Bridge (1955)

The Malabadi Bridge (Turkish: Malabadi Köprüsü) is an 87.6 m (287 ft) long, two lane, deck-arch bridge that crosses the Batman river near Çatakköprü, Diyarbakır Province.

The bridge carries the old D.360 state road, as the current highway crosses a newer bridge just south of the two older bridges.

Construction of the bridge started in December 1954 and was completed in March 1955, just three and a half months later.

With the opening of the bridge, it replaced the historic pointed-arch bridge adjacent to it.
