Ruined bridge

Ruined section of one of the bridges, showing the internal structure. The rubble concrete core is faced by 'petit appareil' limestone blocks on the inside and outside of the conduit. The sole of the conduit is lined with a thick layer of coarse concrete with tile fragments, and the specus is lined with fine-grained opus signinum, red hydraulic concrete mixed with crushed tiles
