The bridge was built in the XVI–XVII centuries in the Eastern architectural style. The carvan ways stretching in the Eastern direction from Gazanchi village and joining the key roads in the Ordubad territory passed via this bridge which served the Great Silk Road. Though the bridge is a bit in good order but it is useless for the transport. Though it is a bit out of order but it is considered one of the best examples of the one span bridges in Azerbaijan. The width of the bridge is 3,55 m, the length is 10,85 m and the height is 8,8 m. The bridge was built of the cut stones, a bit hewed. The border and archiwalt of the spans consist of perfect hewed sandstones.
