Towhid Square, the intersection of five main and busy thoroughfares in Tehran, will witness the inauguration of a new bridge next week, built to streamline traffic and facilitate access to Shahid Chamran Highway. This bridge provides direct access to Sattarkhan Street, which has been recognized as one of the traffic problems for years due to its high traffic volume.
Details of the New Bridge Construction
Mahdi Sadaqati, the CEO of the Engineering and Urban Development Organization of Tehran Municipality, stated in an interview that the new bridge is equipped with two lanes for vehicles and one pedestrian walkway, and it is expected that the opening of this bridge will reduce the incoming traffic to Towhid Square. Sadaqati noted that the groundwork for this bridge is being carried out simultaneously with the sidewalk and curb construction, and all these stages will be completed by the end of this week.
