description
The stone bridge was completed in 1860. A corresponding badge is attached in the arched corner. The two symmetrical bridge arches are made of quarry stone . These are filled in so that a level road surface is created. There are low guide walls on both sides. On the western side, the carriageway reaches up to the wall, while on the eastern side a narrow, unpaved pedestrian path runs right next to the carriageway.
