With a pedestrian surface length of 16 meters and a width of 1.9-2 meters, the bridge has the outline of a semicircular arch resting on abutments erected on rocky ledges. Made of semi-processed stone with lime mortar, with a surface lined with stone slabs and arches trimmed with well-hewn squares, the Earthen Bridge is an outstanding example of ancient construction.
