SAEDNEWS: The old Dezful Bridge was constructed during the Sassanid era (Sassanian Empire), and accounts for one of the ancient bridges in the world. At present this bridge connects Dezful and Andimeshk cities.
The current Dezful Bridge was commissioned by the Sassanid king Shapur I and constructed using seventy thousand Roman prisoners of war. Over the centuries, it has undergone multiple repairs during the reigns of Azedodowleh Daylami, the Safavid, Qajar, and early Pahlavi periods.
Today, the bridge features four grand arches, each separated by a smaller arch, and nearby, remnants of ancient mills hint at its historic role in the region’s daily life. Since 2010, motor vehicles have been banned from crossing, preserving the bridge’s invaluable heritage.
Built from dressed stone and mortar, with sections of baked clay brick, Dezful Bridge has endured repeated damage from natural forces, particularly seasonal floods of the Dez River. Yet these challenges have never been enough to dismantle this colossal structure. Its endurance is a testament to the skill, strength, and ingenuity of the warriors who brought it to life.
