请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
赵州桥坐落在洨河上，距离赵县南部约2.5公里。这座桥是在公元605年至公元616年建造的。赵州桥是由中国著名的匠师李春设计的，是用石头建造的，长50.82米，宽10米，还有一个不可思议的弧形桥洞，高7.23米，跨度为37.35米。桥上的石头栏杆和柱子上雕刻着美丽的龙凤图案。这座桥是一座空腹式的圆弧形石拱桥，两边有两个小拱，这是中国最早的拱桥之一，在中国桥梁建筑史上占有重要的地位，让游客和工程师们都很感兴趣。
参考译文：
Zhaozhou Bridge was built on the Jiao River about 2.5 kilometers away from
the south of Zhaoxian county. The bridge was constructed in AD 605-616. Designed
by a well-known Chinese mason, Li Chun, it’s made of stone, 50.82 meters long
and 10 meters wide, with an unusual arch that is 7.23 meters high with a span of
37.35 meters. The stone railing and columns on the bridge were carved with
beautiful dragon and phoenix designs. One of the earliest Chinese arch bridges
with a long open-spandrel arch in the middle and two small arches on each side,
this bridge occupies an important place in the history of Chinese bridge
building and has been of interest to tourists and engineers alike.
