The old Taurus/Toros road connecting Syria and Palestine with Constantinople started in Tarsus and went all the way towards Pozanti in order to circumvent the gaps of the Baghdad railway.

This is a little section of the old Tarsus-Pozanti road. It was circumvented by the improved new road along the old trail and gives a good impression how the old road during WW1 might have looked liked (then not paved).

The old bridge was built in 1915/16. Meanwhile, it became too small for modern transport vehicles. The new road circumvents it on the right.
