Malabadi Bridge

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. C

onstruction 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.
