Pol-e Siah or the Black Bridge is the oldest bridge over the Karoun River which was built in 1930 over the ruins of the Sassanid (224–651 CE) bridge of Ahvaz. The purpose of the bridge was to connect the railroad in southern Khuzestan to the national railroad connecting Khoramshar and Tehran to northern Iran. The bridge which was built during the reign of founder of the Pahlavi dynasty Reza Shah (1878-1944) was a major military supply route during World War II and was therefore nicknamed ‘Victory Bridge’. The bridge was registered as a National Heritage Site in 2000.
