Site Size & Condition: Ancient Bridge Prasat Bakong Spean Khang Lech (ប្រាសាទ​បាគងស្ពានខាងលិច - Pronounced: Pra-saht Ba-kohng S'pien Karhng Lech!)

The western causeway that you cross after entering through the west entrance gopura Prasat Bakong Khloung Thvear Khang Lech. The causeway crosses the inner moat of Prasat Bakong and used to be flanked by two large long Preah Ko style sandstone nagas on both sides, though today only a few traces of the naga can be seen.
