The Red Bridge (Armenian: Կարմիր կամուրջ, Karmir kamurj; also known as the Old Bridge of Hrazdan; and also known as Bridge of Khoja Plav, Խոջա Փլավի կամուրջ, Khoja Plavi kamurj) is a 17th-century bridge built of red tuff on the Hrazdan River in Yerevan, Armenia.
The bridge was also called "Khoja-plav bridge" for Khoja-plav, a wealthy man from Kanaker who financed its reconstructruction.[1]
The total length of the bridge is 80 meters and its height is 11 meters. It has 4 arches. Two are in the middle and squiggly, the other two arches are on the banks of the Hrazdan River.[2]
An earlier bridge in the same place was ruined by the 1679 Armenia earthquake.[citation needed]. The bridge was restored in 2025 as part of a public-private partnership.
