CROSSING WIED ID-DIS

From my walk along Wied id-Dis
Wied id-Dis Bridge or Madliena Bridge was built in 1880 by the British military forces to facilitate transportation of military equipment and also servicemen along the Victoria Lines. Until the 1930s soldiers would reach nearby Fort Madliena via this bridge when on duty to guard that part of the Victoria Lines. Later this bridge came into use by civilians and is still a popular thoroughfare for Gharghur or Naxxar.
Thank you very much for your views, comments and fav's.

I love historic bridges. Fascinates me that so many structures are still so serviceable. This reminds me of a viaduct.

The area looks really pretty- and the history sounds very meaningful. I think those soldiers who used this bridge for protection and transporting supplies would be pleased to know it's still in service beyond the war effort and now for peacetime activities. Good shot!
