The bridge consists of a three dimensional truss with two continuous levels that sits on three tree shape columns. There are two platforms on top of the main columns forming the third level viewpoints. All the levels are connected to each other by stairs and multiple ramps, providing multiple paths throughout the bridge to get from each level to another. Tabiat Bridge weighs more than 2,000 tons, needed more than 14,000 pieces of steel in different sizes, and is built over 40 meters above the ground. This Bridge is of great value in terms of architecture and tourism and has become a popular place for hangouts and morning sports for locals and travelers.  Uppersia suggests you to Step inside the most fabulous bridge in Tehran and explore its iconic structure and spectacular views every day from 8am to 11pm.
