Spean Praptos (Kampong Kdei) - Longest corbeled Stone-arch Bridge In The World - Cambodia 2024
Spean Praptos ស្ពានប្រាប់ទិស also known as Kampong Kdei Bridge ស្ពានកំពង់ក្ដី on the road from Angkor to Phnom Penh Cambodia, was the longest corbeled stone-arch bridge in the world, with more than twenty narrow arches spanning 285 ft (87m).
The bridge was built in the 12th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. It is one of the few Khmer empire era bridges to have survived to the modern day.
Several other bridges on the same model are visible: in the Angkor site (Spean Memai), Spean Thma on the former path of the Siem Reap River between Angkor Thom and the Eastern Baray, and at several locations of the former empire.
Spean Kampong Kdei is the most impressive of the country's numerous Angkor period bridges. Also known as Spean Praptos the bridge spans the Chikreng River just west of Kompong Kdei Town. The bridge is nearly 90m long and 15m wide and includes 21 corbelled arches.
The bridge also comes with a sandstone balustrade with nagas at each end plus pillars with guardian figures while the riverbanks on each side are terraced in laterite.
This was the Angkor period royal road connecting the capital with Sambor Prei Kuk and all points east.
Until a Kampong Kdei bypass route was finished all RN6 traffic passed over the bridge itself. Today it is open for 2 wheel traffic and pedestrians only.
It’s a small but interesting piece of history.
