Located just east of Beng Mealea, it’s a small ancient bridge that is still in use today and, quite amazingly, holding up to today’s heavy vehicles. It has been sealed over with bitumen and goes completely unnoticed apart from the locals who live on either side. It’s quite small, only around 13-15 m long and around 10 m wide with at least three arches that are still visible. In the creek bed that it crosses, remnants of its sandstone naga balustrade can be seen.
