TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The 8.2 km Manjil-Rudbar Freeway as part of the 138 km Qazvin-Rasht Freeway will be inaugurated on Monday with the participation of Iran’s Vice President for Executive Affairs Mohsen Mansouri and Minister of Roads and Urban Development Mehrdad Bazrpash.
After the Shiraz-Isfahan Freeway as the longest freeway project and also the Tehran-Shomal Freeway as the most difficult freeway project in Iran, the Manjil-Rudbar Freeway is the third promised project of the current administration for construction of freeways in the country.
The operation of Manjil-Rudbar Freeway will remove the traffic bottlenecks between Tehran and Gilan Province and there will be a reduction in travel time, fuel consumption and car depreciation along the route.
According to Iran Deputy Minister of Roads and CEO of the Construction and Development of Transportation Infrastructures Company Kheirollah Khademi, this freeway project had many bridges and tunnels due to the location in the mountainous area.
The technical construction of this project consisted of six large bridges with a total length of 1,576 meters, 314 concrete piles and four tunnels with a total length of 2,876 meters, he added, the website of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development reported.
