Site Size & Condition: Ancient Bridge Spean Ron Tadalv (ស្ពានរន្ធត្រដេវ - Pronounced: Spien Rohn Ta-deow) one of the many historic bridges built by King Jayavarman VII that spans the Royal roads leading out from Angkor to the far stretches of the empire. This particular bridge is about has 7 corbelled arches, we are unsure as to how long the bridge as but possibly 10m long and 6m wide. Beside the laterite bridge, are the remains of a pair of sandstone naga balustrades.

It was originally reported that only 4 arches were visible as the rest of the bridge was buried in dirt. The only odd thing is that the coordinates we recorded when we visited in 2009 matches the coordinates supplied by CISARK, however the Google Street View does not appear to show the bridge at all.
