Tabiat Bridge is a pedestrian bridge in northern Tehran, spanning the Modarres Expressway and linking Taleghani Park with Abo-Atash Park. Diba Tensile Architecture designed it, with Leila Araghian and Alireza Behzadi. The article also credits another name that it does not explain, and it names no owner or style.
Construction began in 2010 and finished in October 2014, though the exact opening date is not given. The bridge is 270 meters long and uses about 2,000 tonnes of steel and 10,000 cubic meters of concrete. Three tree-shaped columns hold two continuous deck levels, with a third level where the truss meets the column branches.
The route curves rather than running straight. Benches, kiosks, green spaces, a covered lower level, scenic viewing areas and restaurants at each end make it a place to linger. Several pathways from each park lead onto it.
