Unique engineering construction – Big boulder arch bridge in Russia
The secrets of the construction of the boulder bridge remained unsolved. Huge stones were used for the construction of this gigantic structure. They fit tightly on top of each other, without bonding mixtures. Experts say that in the presence of modern technology to build this is impossible, this structure is not amenable to any engineering calculations...
Along the River Tvertsa , these bridge at least 3 dozen units, half of which were razed to piles of stones. This is the most remarkable and most impressionable of all such examples of ancient boulder bridge architecture in the Tver region.
