Agarakadzor Bridge, also known as Dada Bridge, was built in the 13th century across the Arpa River in Vayots Dzor. Constructed from pink sandstone and limestone, its pointed single-span arch remains in use. The bridge stands 2.5 kilometres west of the village of Agarakadzor.

The right springing of the arch rests directly on rock, while the left is supported by an artificial foundation. Despite the unequal height of the riverbanks, the 15.85-metre span gives the structure the appearance of leaping across the water. Repaired several times over the centuries, it remains an important monument of Armenian architecture and engineering.
