Mesi Bridge spans the Kir River, about 6 km northeast of Shkodra, and is classified as a first-category cultural monument. It is considered a masterpiece of Albanian stone construction, built by skilled craftsmen from Dibra. The bridge linked Shkodra with Drisht and the Cukal area and remains the longest and best-preserved Ottoman bridge in Albania.

Built along the ancient Shkodra–Kosovo trade route, the bridge has 13 arches of different sizes and measures 108 meters in length, 3.4 meters in width, and 15 meters in height. Construction took place in two stages: first the main 21.5-meter arch with four smaller arches, followed by an extension designed to manage flooding.

The project was commissioned by Mehmet Pasha Bushati, who governed Shkodra between 1755 and 1775. Historians date the bridge to the year 1768.
