Description

Location: Khelvachauri Municipality, on the small Chkheri River on the road from Zeda Chkhutuneti to Gorgadzeti.

Well-processed curb stones are arranged vertically on top of each other. The bridge's carriageway is covered with stone slabs. The length of the surface is 8.5 m. -. Width in the middle part is 2 m. -. The height from the water level to the middle of the gorge is 14 m. -. The bridge, which has the outline of an open semicircular arch, rests on piers cut into both rocky banks, which are well above the water level. So the river will not pose a danger of collapse to the bridge.
