About the place

The Great Bridge of Hrazdan functions as an arterial crossing, carrying vehicle traffic and linking major urban districts.

Known locally as Kievian Bridge, the structure spans the canyon with a wide concrete arch designed by Grigor Aghababyan. The roadway carries regular vehicular flow and pedestrian movement across the deep gorge, establishing an essential transportation link that eliminates the need to descend into the natural river ravine.
