Spean Praptos (Kampong Kdei Bridge)
ស្ពានប្រាប់ទស់
A laterite stone arch bridge built under Jayavarman VII in the 12th century, about 85 meters long and the longest surviving bridge from the Angkorian era.
Built by Jayavarman VII at the end of the 12th century, this bridge stands on the ancient royal road linking Angkor with the eastern regions. It is made of laterite blocks laid in corbelled arches, forming more than twenty narrow spans, and the ends of its balustrades are topped with seven-headed naga serpents. The bridge can still be crossed on foot, and a new bridge carrying National Route 6 stands alongside. Entry is free, and half an hour is enough for a visit. It is located in Kampong Kdei town in Siem Reap Province, about 70 km from Kampong Thom and 65 km from Siem Reap, making it a good stop between the two.
