Iran says rebuilding key bridge hit by US would cost $23m


The head of the company overseeing construction of the northern Karaj freeway said rebuilding a major bridge damaged in US attacks could cost about 3.5 trillion tomans (roughly $23 million).
“We are trying to proceed with reconstruction under the current conditions by demolishing parts of the structure and redesigning it so it can be preserved as a symbol in the country,” said Abolfazl Rahmani, chief executive of the North Karaj Freeway Construction Company
Rahmani added that the B1 bridge had been built “without foreign involvement” and reconstruction cost could end up higher than the initial estimate.
