The bridge crosses the Kahta stream, the ancient Nymphaios, south of Yenikale, within the bounds of Kocahisar — the old Kahta — in Adıyaman. It is built of regular cut stone with a pointed arch.
There is no inscription on it. It is called the Seljuk bridge locally, and from its architecture it is estimated to have been built in the Seljuk period. It is reached by car or on a tour.
