THE BRIDGES OF ARTSAKH
Bridge of Kchaghbyoor
The single-span, vaulted bridge of Kchaghbyoor (late 19th to early 20th centuries) is situated at the south-eastern extremity of Khachakap Village, Karhat (Dashkesan) District, Northern Artsakh—a region that suffered deportation of its Armenian population in 1988 and has been annexed to Azerbaijan since then. Except for the cornerstones of the vault-bearing arch that are finely-finished, the other parts of the bridge are laid with undressed stone and mortar.
Span length: 3.95 metres; original passage width: 4.05 metres (subsequently widened by 3 metres).
