Famous Tabiat Bridge in Tehran, Designed By Leila Araghian
Tabiat Bridge is the largest pedestrian overpass built in Tehran, Iran. The 270-metre (890 ft) bridge connects two public parks -Taleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park- by spanning over Shahid Modarres, one of the main highways in northern Tehran.
The word tabiat means "nature" in the Persian language.
The bridge was designed by Leila Araghian. It has won several awards, including the Popular Choice Prize for Highways & Bridges from the Architizer A+ Awards, a global architectural competition based in New York.
Throughout the bridge recreational, cultural and tourism spaces such as restaurants, coffee shops and galleries have been designed that add to the attractions of this bridge.
