The bridge known as the "Victory Fortress" spans the Rabhaszem River in a wide band of gold, encircling both sides like a lover's band. It is wide enough to march four large wagons side-by-side across, and even then there is room for others to walk between each of them. The bridge is arched high above the river's waters, and the high columns that raise the stone above the river are shaped into key-stone arches much like the doorways of the masjid.
The bridge is almost a century old, and when it reaches the 100-year mark next year, a great festival has been planned to celebrate the union of the two halves of Zep Tepi. Already, flowers are being grown on either side of the bridge, to offer spectacular color to the ceremony when it comes to pass.
