The bridge was constructed in 105 AD by instruction of Emperor Trajan by architect Apollodorus of Damascus, from Damascus, Roman Syria, before his Second Dacian War to allow Roman troops to cross the river.
Transboundary riverA transboundary river is a river that crosses at least one political border, either a border within a state or an international boundary.

The Naf River is the only river that flows via Bangladesh into Myanmar. The hydrologic and political effects of rivers that cross significant boundaries are enormous.
