Its story
The Sazak Bridge, also known as the Üç Köprü (Three Bridges) or Karahasan Bridge, is in the deep valley of the Göksu basin in the Sazak area of Taşkent. The bridge, with three circular arches, is about 62 m long and 3 m wide; it is thought to have been built in the 18th–19th centuries. It was repaired by the General Directorate of Highways between 2007 and 2012. About 1 km to its north, on the same stream, is the single-span Korucu Bridge.
