The bridge crosses the Ceyhan (Ancient Pyramus) between Yakapınar (Ancient Mopsuestia) and Geçitli.
In the Middle Ages, Mopsuestia was a large city and the bridge was built on one of the busiest trade routes to the east. It was commissioned by the Roman Emperor Flavius Julius Constantius (better known as Constantius II) in the fourth century. It was restored by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in the sixth century. It was renovated again in 743 and 840. The bridge suffered damage in the 1998 Adana - Ceyhan earthquake.
