Bridges with their role of communication have been of great importance among architectural structures from the past to the present, as we have seen the construction of them from the Achaemenid era. Khorramshahr Old Bridge is one of the bridges of this city that brings bitter and sweet memories of different periods. One of the branches of the Karoon River, called the Azodi channel, divides Khorramshahr into two parts, north and south. The connection between the two parts of Khorramshahr in the past was carried out through small boats until 1339, during the Pahlavi era, they built the Old Bridge for people to move from one side of the river to the other side in the southeastern part of the Karoon River. The Old Bridge also known as Azadi Bridge was damaged during the years of the imposed war between Iran and Iraq, which was restored in the year 1370. The bridge has 616 meters length and 6 meters width and creates spectacular scenery with colored lighting waterfalls on Khorramshahr nights. The Old Bridge is on the anniversary of the manumission of Khorramshahr on May 24th, and is witnessing a great walking tour to commemorate the memories of Jerusalem operations fighters.
