Mes bridge

Ura e Mesit, Mes Bridgee
Albania, Shkoder
The Mes Bridge was built in 1768 by order of Mehmet Pasha Bushati and served to connect the rest of the cities of Albania with Shkoder. The bridge is located near the city of Shkoder (8 km) on the Kir River. The Mes Bridge is an architectural monument. It has an unusual design. The slope of the bridge is 14 degrees, so the right span is 5 meters below the major arc of the bridge. The bridge was built of hewn stone, and the roadway and sidewalk of stone slabs. The structure of the bridge consists of 13 arches of different heights. The bridge offers a picturesque view of the Kir River.
During the earthquake, the bridge was partially destroyed, but after reconstruction in 2010, it was reopened for walking and cycling.

On a cool day, we decided to arrange a bike ride around the neighborhood. We also passed this bridge. The view from the bridge is beautiful on the river. Suitable for walking or cycling. Now, as I understand it, it serves as a landmark and a footbridge.
