The Oluk Bridge (formerly known as the Eurymedon Bridge) is a Roman bridge over the Köprüçay River, formerly known as the Eurymedon, near the ancient city of Selge, the capital of the Roman province of Pisidia in Turkey. The structure was located on a road leading from the Pamphilia coast to Pisidia. Built in a sparsely populated area, the bridge crosses the Köprüçay River near the village of Beşkonak and is notable for its height. The excellently preserved ancient building is 14 meters long and 3.5 meters wide; the street surface is 2.5 meters wide. The clear width of its single arch is about 7 meters, and the thickness of the wedge-shaped, mortarless stones is 60 centimeters. The construction technique used and the strength of the masonry indicate that it was built in the 2nd century AD, Selge's heyday.
