“The largest brick bridge in northern Iran, known as Mohammad Hassan Khan Bridge, is located in the city of Babol. With a history of nearly three centuries, this architectural monument currently bears the daily passage of thousands of light and heavy vehicles, causing severe structural damage. A group of local NGOs has mobilized efforts to raise awareness among citizens and authorities in order to prevent vehicular traffic across the bridge. Their ultimate goal is to restore the monument and transform the site into a recreational pedestrian zone.
