A tunnel, known as the Nysa Bridge, is a late imperial Roman bridge over the Cakircak stream in Nysa ancient city in Aydin province of Turkey. It was built as a two-level structure: the bottom vault spanned the brook. On top of it a row of arches connected the two hills that formed the urban area. The ground arch spanned the stream on a length of some 100 m (328 ft), giving the bridge the appearance of a tube or a tunnel, although it was constructed entirely above ground.
