Bridge

Before Image Date: May 1, 2024
Impact Image Date: June 9, 2025
The single-span Aghvesahaki Bridge (B in the satellite imagery), located just south of St. Mariam Astvatsatsin church, was built of local rough-hewn basalt and lime mortar. The facing of the arch was finished with two arcs of polished stone. The bridge has no construction record but Monument Watch suggests it dates to the 18th century based on architectural details.
Satellite imagery from June 9, 2025 indicates a concerning new road construction project cutting just 33m from St. Mariam Astvatsatsin. This work has already been extensive enough to build up sizeable berms in the area.
