The Eurymedon Bridge (Шаблон:Lang-tr) is a Roman bridge over the river Eurymedon (modern Köprüçay River) near Selge in Pisidia in southern Turkey.[1] It is part of the road winding up from the coastal region Pamphylia to the Pisidian hinterland.[1] Located 5 km north of the village Beşkonak in a sparsely settled area, the bridge crosses the Eurymedon high above the valley bottom.[1]

The excellently preserved structure is 14 m long and 3.5 m wide (with a roadway of 2.5 m).[1] The clear span of its single arch is c. 7 m, the thickness of its voussoirs, which were set without the use of mortar, 60 cm.[1] The building technique and the sturdy stonework point to a construction date in the 2nd century AD, a time when Selge was flourishing.[2]

Forty-two km downstream at Aspendos, the Eurymedon is crossed by another extant old bridge.[3]
