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]
On 10 March 2002, the bridge was registered as historical monument #5002 on the list of Registered National Monuments of Iran.[2]
