BACKGROUND
Spean Thma is a bridge constructed
of reused blocks of sandstone of varying shapes and sizes, which suggests it was
built to replace an earlier one. The orientation of the bridge seems odd because
the course of the river has changed. The river one flows along the right side of
the bridge of under its arches.
LAYOUT
The bridge is supported on massive pillars, the
openings between them spanned by narrow corbel arches. There are reportedly
traces of 14 arches.
