Cherchell (Algeria)

Oued Bellah bridge

Central section of the Oued Bellah bridge, lower tier. Notice how the vertical edge stones aside the arches have fallen off, destabilizing the bridge. This two-tier bridge, directly on the main road, was originally 288 m long and 26 m high, longer than the Pont du Gard! The bridge is now a sorry sight. The ruins are remains of the first tier, with stumps of the pillars of the second tier rather inelegantly sticking out.
