History[edit]
Built by Hovakim Lalazariants from Khndzoresk in 1867, it was later repaired by his son Simeon between 1900 and 1902. The construction inscription in Armenian built into the bridge read:
“The stone bridge over the river Barkushat, erected by Hovakim Lalazariants from Khentzoresk Village in the 1860s, used to be in a state of dilapidation; now it has undergone overhaul and is almost ready [for further use]".
The renovation was conducted by the deceased Lalazariants's son Simeon; thanks to his financial assistance, the bridge was under repairs for exactly a year and a half, he himself supervising the work.
Construction inscription[edit]
The years marking the foundation and renovation of the bridge of Lalazar can still be read in its construction inscription (10 lines in the Armenian original) once engraved above its left-bank pier, on its facade looking downstream.
