A strategically important 27-arch bridge over Wadi Tubja.
Located 1.1 kms north of Hedia Station.
Pump house with birka and small well at the southern end of the bridge.
The bridge was heavily defended during the war. There was a wireless station, which, according to British military reports, could be heard up to 5 miles away on a still night.
To the north of the original structure, a series of concrete piles can be seen - part of an unfinished extension to the bridge undertaken during the 1960s restoration project.
There are 2 stone defensive positions on small hills overlooking the southern end of the bridge.
