Bridge in Abadan, Iran From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bahmanshir Bridge at Istgah-e Haft (Persian: پل بهمنشیر آبادان ایستگاه هفت, Pol-e Bahmanshir-e Ābadān-e Istgāh-e Haft), which is commonly referred to as the Istgah-e Haft Bridge (Persian: پل ایستگاه هفت, Pol-e Istgāh-e Haft), is a bridge over the Bahmanshir River in the Istgah-e Haft neighborhood of Abadan, Iran. During the early part of the Iran–Iraq War, this bridge played a critical role during the nearly 11-month Siege of Abadan, as it was one of only two bridges allowing access to Abadan Island, making the key cities of Abadan and Khorramshahr difficult to capture.[1]
