White Bridge, Steel bridge in Ahvaz, Iran.

White Bridge stretches 501 meters across the Karun River with two steel arches measuring 12 and 20 meters on concrete foundations.

Engineers completed the construction of this steel suspension bridge in 1936, marking it as the first of its kind in Iran and fourth worldwide.

The bridge connects the old and new sections of Ahvaz, forming a central element in the urban landscape of Khuzestan Province.

The structure contains two lanes for vehicles and separate walkways on each side, currently operating as a one-way route due to age considerations.

A German engineer's wife continued and finished the bridge construction after her husband's death during the initial phase of the project.

Location: Khuzestan Province

Official opening: 1936
