Veresk Bridge

The Veresk bridge (Varisk) in Iran was constructed during the reign of Reza Shah. It is located in Veresk district of Savad Kooh county, in Mazandaran province.

During World War II, it was known as the "Pol-e-Piroozi", or the bridge of victory. The bridge is at an elevation of 110 m and its arch measures 66 m in length. The bridge is one of the masterpieces of the Danish engineering firm Kampsax, serving the Trans-Iranian Railway network in Northern Iran.
