This stone arch aqueduct was built over the road to secure an irrigation channel during the renovation of the national highway. It was completed in 1882 and has since been affectionately known as the "Stone Gate of Minei." It was demolished when National Highway Route 2 was widened, but due to the many requests to preserve the arch bridge, which was constructed using secret stone masonry techniques, it has been moved to its current location and preserved there. It is currently registered as a national tangible cultural property.
