dc.description | Description: Preservation: The arch of the bridge is preserved intact and can still be crossed on foot. Facing blocks and voussoirs remain in place on the downstream (south) side of the bridge, which is much better preserved than the upstream side. A section of the vaulted conduit and tunnel, in which pickmarks are visible, is preserved in the west (right) bank. ** Construction: The bridge is constructed of mortared rubble faced with petit appareil masonry. The facing blocks, carved from sandy conglomerate rock, are 0.30–0.50 m long, 0.20 m high, 0.30–0.40 m deep, and are laid out in courses interchanged with courses of small stones that help to level each course. The lime mortar is a white with small stone inclusions, most no larger than 0.05 m. The lower projecting course of the west pier is constructed of worked marble blocks 1 m long, 0.20 m high, and at least 0.4 deep. The worked marble blocks of the upper projecting course of the west pier are taller (about 0.5 m) but not as long (about 0.5 m), and are not of uniform size or shape as are those of the lower course. The lower voussoirs include blocks 0.30–0.50 m long and approximately 0.20 m wide at the extrados. The upper voussoirs are larger, 0.40–0.70 m long and about 0.30 m wide at the extrados. ** Description: The bridge is preserved to a height of 13.3 m, a width of 4.3 m, and a length of 36 m. Both piers are founded on rock outcrops, and the base of the east pier sits 3.7 m above the base of the west pier, which is constructed of marble blocks several times larger than the other facing blocks. Two projecting courses run through the west pier, while the one projecting course of the east pier sits about 0.15 m lower in elevation than the upper projecting course on the west pier. These courses project approximately 0.10–0.15 m from all faces of the pier. The lower projecting course of the west pier sits 2.6 m above the base of the structure, and the upper sits 3.2 m above the bottom of the lower course. The arch is constructed of two layers of voussoirs and spans 9.8 m. | en_US |
