The Tabiat Bridge is a curving pedestrian overpass in northern Tehran that links two public parks across a busy expressway. Designed by a young Iranian architect and finished in the 2010s, its three levels of walkways weave between tree-shaped steel columns, widening into seating areas, cafes, and terraces rather than a single straight span. It has become a gathering place where residents stroll above the traffic and look out over city and mountains. Its name translates as the bridge of nature, for the greenery it joins.
