Located along the ancient road that led out of Angkor to Phnom Srok (and beyond), Spean Thom is a laterite bridge measuring over 60 meters long by eye as it is partly buried by a new road that runs parallel to the bridge. It still retains sections of balustrade, interestingly, they are also made from laterite while on most bridges these would be of sandstone. A bridge east of Phnom Srok, Spean Dach, also features parts of laterite balustrade, even with a naga end, still in situ. See a larger map of the ancient road network and bridges here and here.
