Description
Location: Khelvchauri Municipality, the confluence of the Chorokhi River in Mirveti. 19 km from Batumi.
History: Bridge building has been developed in Georgia since ancient times, many medieval bridges are still in operation. The size and width of bridges depended on their purpose and the road leading to them. On the Saureme road, bridges were wider, and where cart movement was impossible, relatively narrow bridges were built. Stone bridges could only be arched, because the stone structure works well against compaction. Mirveti Bridge was built in the 11th-13th centuries. After the Makho Bridge, the road leading to Tao-Klarjeti passed here.
The length of the carriageway is 15.5 m. -. The height to the water level is 5 m. The carriageway is covered with medium-sized flat stones. Semicircular arch piers are built on the rock on both sides.
