The “Ura e Vashës” stands over the Mat River, between Klos and the village of Guri i Bardhë. It lies only 200 meters from the Arbër Road.

The Skura family built the bridge in the early 18th century as an act of charity. They used stone and lime mortar. The bridge has a right-side arch, a discharge window, and a double vault. Its base rests firmly on two rocky riverbanks.

The bridge is 11 meters long, 2.8 meters wide, and 7 meters above the water. The distance between the piers is also 7 meters. Workers paved the surface with river stones, lime mortar, and flat stone slabs.

Today, many local and foreign tourists visit the site. It has become a symbol of cultural heritage. Moreover, its location near the Arbër Road adds to its importance. It combines history with natural beauty. The bridge is also one of the oldest of its kind in Albania.

Nearby, a large modern bridge now rises as part of the Arbër Road. This new structure stands close to the old one and connects two mountain slopes. Thus, the past meets the present.

The Arbër Road includes six bridges. Among them, the most important is the new “Ura e Vashës.” It crosses the Mat River and links Fshat with Plani i Bardhë in the Klos Municipality. As a result, it reflects how history repeats itself through new infrastructure.

In conclusion, this modern bridge ranks among the largest in the country. It will help boost local development and connect the region more closely with the rest of Albania.
