Meriç Bridge (Turkish: Meriç Köprüsü), aka Yeni Köprü, meaning New Bridge or Mecidiye Bridge, after Sultan Abdülmecid I, is a historic Ottoman bridge in Edirne, Turkey. It crosses the Meriç river,[1] carrying the state road

Construction of the bridge began under the Ottoman sultan Mahmud II (r. 1808–1839), and was completed in 1843 by his successor Abdülmecid I (r. 1839–1861). The 263 m (863 ft) long and 7 m (23 ft) wide bridge has twelve arches.[1]
