The CEO of the Engineering and Construction Organization of Tehran Municipality, Mehdi Sadaqati, explained that the Shahid Sepahbod Mousavi Highway is designed as one of the strategic bottlenecks in the highway network of West Tehran. This project, which is 4 kilometers long, began in August 2024 and includes 23 kilometers of highway and 11 bridges.
Sadaqati also noted that this project includes multi-level intersections and access roads totaling 14.5 kilometers, designed to reduce traffic congestion and facilitate access to scientific and academic centers.
