Vali-e-Asr Junction Underpass

Traffic characteristics of project’s location:
junction of Vali-e-Asr st. & Enghleb st. which are the longest streets of Tehran in North-south and east-west directions with 5’900 vehicle/hr., 260 bus/hr. and 14’500 person/hr.
Main reasons for construction of an underpass:

• Construction of a bridge was not possible since it could have made obstacle for the view of Shahr theatre building, which is one of the world heritage registry
• Because of metro station line 4 and urban utilities at this location, it was not possible to construct an underpass for vehicles
• Providing access to metro stations from underpass and organizing pedestrian route
• Beautification of one of the most crowded junctions in Tehran
