Future Plans and Renovation Goals
The CEO of the Engineering and Construction Organization of Tehran Municipality stated that there are currently 101 mechanized bridges in Tehran. Since the beginning of 2024, with the transfer of renovation responsibilities to this organization, plans have been made to completely renovate 31 bridges, including 112 escalator units and 14 elevators.
These renovations include repairs and upgrades of the remaining bridges, aimed at supplying parts and activating non-operational bridges, addressing safety deficiencies, and also renewing the polycarbonate coverings. These programs are designed to enhance safety and facilitate citizen movement and are currently being implemented.
With these actions, not only will the safety of pedestrian passage be increased, but the visual appearance of the city will also improve, allowing citizens to move through public spaces with greater confidence.
