White Bridge in Ahwaz: The First Suspension Bridge of Iran

 One of the most important tourist attractions in Ahwaz is its bridges. Today, there are eight bridges over Karun. The first bridge, which is called black bridge, is for train's crossing. Among these bridges, the first bridge (suspension bridge) and the seventh bridge have doubled the city's beauty because of their unique style of architecture and design. The white bridge or the suspension bridge is one of the most beautiful bridges of Ahwaz built by a German family on the beautiful river of Karun.  German Engineers started to build this bridge and worked up to the level of installing one of the arcs, but the British took back the supplies and instruments, which they offered the bridge builder at first. This action made the bridge builder sick and caused his death, but after a while, his wife started to install the second arc on the bridge by using the simplest tools and in this way, she completed the bridge.  White Bridge of Ahwaz is the fourth cantilever bridge of the world and the first cantilever bridge of Iran and is one of the eight bridges established on Karun River in Ahwaz city and it connects two parts of this city together This bridge was registered in November 17th, 1999 as one of Iran’s national relics.

For some, the thought of crossing a swinging bridge, suspended hundreds of feet in the air, is exhilarating. While others either cross as quickly as possible, or consider the merits of staying put. High and handsome amid beautiful Iran scenery, Meshgin shahr Suspension Bridge offers travelers and locals a peculiar, jaw-dropping experience. The Mideast's tallest pedestrian suspension bridge was inaugurated in 2014, inviting walkers to brave a narrow path running 80 meters above the valley floor at its highest point. Meshgin shahr Suspension Bridge in Ardabil province, a record-breaking 365 meters long and two meters wide, is being constructed on the Khiavchai River.  Going on a ZipLine around the bridge and also crossing over the glassy part of it, are exciting activities that you can find nowhere in Iran. The availability of suitable amenities and the location of the bridge in a forest park is another reason for the popularity of this tourist attraction.
