Couldn't find an english article, so in short: 674 meters, ~5 million dollars:

نخستین پل ترکه*ای ایران به بهره برداری رسید


نخستین پل ترکه*ای کشور امروز با حضور وزیر راه و ترابری در استان خوزستان به بهره برداری رسید. به گزارش خبرگزاری"مهر"، پل شهید بهرامی به طول 674 متر، نخستین پل ترکه ای کشور در امتداد محور کنار گذر شوشتر است که امروز صبح با حضور وزیر راه و ترابری، استاندار هرمزگان جمعی از مسئولین کشوری و استانی افتتاح و به بهره برداری رسید. بنا براین گزارش، احداث این پل بی نظیر 44 میلیارد ریال هزینه از منابع داخلی و 5/1 میلیون دلار هزینه ارزی در برداشته است

پایه این گزارش، کنار گذر شوشتر که پل مذکور در امتداد آن واقع شده از 9 هزار و 700 کیلومتر طول و 5 تقاطع غیر همسطح برخودار است که با بهره برداری از این محور حجم زیادی از ترافیک عبوری شهرستان شوشتر کاهش یافته و مشکل ترافیک و تردد که قبلا از طریق محور درون شهری شوشتر و پل قدیمی آن صورت می گرفته بر طرف می گردد

only 2 lanes?

Great news

Its not very large is it now :P

So off topic.... whats with this Persian Gulf crossing thats gonna be thru Qeshm Island?

its going to happen. They are building a tunnel and a bridge it will be 2 km long this will connect Bandar Abbas to Qeshm and will become the longest bridge in the middle east. Iran is also planning a bridge from Iraq to Iran over that body of water ( i dont like using the name :P) It will be about 500 m long

Are you you sure it's gonna happen? last I heard they still hadn't struck a deal and that was a few months ago...

Also what on earth is the benefit building a Iraq-Iran BRIDGE?

I dont know sucking up to the iraqies so we can get oil deals? Iran is investing one billion dollars in Iraq (also about the same in Afganistan just to make there power in the region bigger and its kinda working lol)
Or maybe they want to link Abadan to Basre.

I don't think that bridge will be built till another 10 years.

The benefit, I think is to grasp the power in the region and to connect interdepend the two countries so they will be harder for the likes of the US to separate. I think that the Mullas believe that by sharing resources with Iraq, connecting the two countries, and so forth, they will have a shia power that can dominate the middle east over the sunnis that are much more broken up into different countries.

wow panj and that all with one bridge!! :):D

lol not all that with one bridge... its just one thing in a bigger picutre :)

you know what would be cool a bridge from Assaluyeh to kish :D

Nice bridge, but the longest bridge is currently the King Fahad bridge connecting Dammam to Bahrain, and the future one is Qatar-Bahrain causeway (completed 2010)...

yeah but i mean there are two kind of bridges one with stands on those pillars and one who actually is in the air and the one between Iran and Iraq will become the longest in the middle east in the air (the KF bridge isnt in the air) Sorry i didnt knew a nother way to put it :P

^^ No problem. I think you mean its the longest Suspension bridge or longest self-supporting brige.

yeah that was the name i was looking for! suspension!

^^ hehe by the way, you have it in your thread title.. hehe. Anyway, I still think this is a nice project. :)

Also what on earth is the benefit building a Iraq-Iran BRIDGE?

haha..thats exactly wot i was thinking.

Iran and Iraq have a thousand km border. Why on earth will they build a bridge on top of water??

To conect Basre and Khoramshar, Abadan in a fast way.

I dont know sucking up to the iraqies so we can get oil deals? Iran is investing one billion dollars in Iraq (also about the same in Afganistan just to make there power in the region bigger and its kinda working lol)
Or maybe they want to link Abadan to Basre.

so they can get their weapons reach basra faster :lol::lol::lol:

instead of shat al arab , u can say the correct term, arvand-rud:)

I think they are separate rivers(not sure)

are manam hanuz nafamidam. apparently when karoun, tigris and euphrates all meet , and form a delta, its called shat al-arab by iraq and arvand rud by iran. nemidun
