The Kraai River Bridge, located near the village of Rhodes in the Eastern Cape, is a historical stone arch bridge constructed in 1895. It was built as part of the road network serving the remote mountain community, crossing the Kraai River, a tributary of the Orange River. The bridge is a notable example of late 19th-century engineering in the region, reflecting the infrastructure development during the colonial era to improve access to the interior. Rhodes itself was established in the 1880s as a farming and trading centre, and the bridge facilitated transport of goods and livestock across the river.
