The
Bafgh-Bandar Abbas Rail Way project
Incomparable in scope and size to any other projects
undertaken during the last 25 years in the Islamic
Republic of Iran, the massive Bafgh-Bandar Abbas
Rail Way Project includes 2,270 bridges with the
total length of 26 kilometers and passes through
giant tunnels, 17312 meters long. Bafagh-Bandar
Abbas Rail Way consists of electric double-track
and is also well equipped with modern information
and traffic system, capable of handling fast trains
with the maximum speed of 160 km per hour. As
a vital linking rail way, this massive project
connects the Central Asian countries as well as
the Iran’s northern and central provinces with
the warm waters of the Persian Gulf in the south,
and thus plays a decisive role in prosperity of
the three important provinces in the area. The
completion of the mentioned project not only would
facilitate the efficient transportation of the
passengers and cargos in the region, but would
also guarantee easier access to the copper mine
in "Sarcheshmeh" and the rich iron ore
in "Golegohar" which would altogether
hasten the rapid development of the country's
largest steel industries (Mobarakeh) and the Isfahan
Iron Foundry.
Tehran
Subway
Substantial and constructive change in the management
of the country's large cities is yet another worthy
accomplishment of the splendid reconstruction
years. Accordingly, the following unceasing efforts
have been made to overcome the obstacle of traffic
in Tehran:
n Designing and contructing necessary ring roads
around the capital.
n Constructing highways and freeways in all essential
areas of the city of Tehran.
n Facilitating the intersections and other sensitive
areas with controlled-circuit cameras for monitoring
the city traffic.
n Increasing the inter-city transportation and
adding adequate bus-stop all over the capital.
n Designing and establishing two subway lines.
Initial steps for the construction
of Tehran's Subway were taken in 1986 and further
relevant efforts did not cease even during the
most crucial days of the Imposed War. At present,
Tehran's Subway is still under construction in
two, north-south and east-west, directions and
its first line linking Tehran with the suburban
city of Karaj is due to be inaugurated early next
year.
The managing director of Tehran
Metro Company in his report to the Supreme Leader
of the Islamic Republic has indicated the following:
"Merely relying upon the domestic workforce
and country's public revenue 42 kilometers of
underground tunnels, 53 subway stations, 60 kilometers
on- the-ground routes, over 500,000 sq. m. of
subway shelters as well as 100,000 sq. m. of business
center have successfully been designed and constructed,
for which 21 million cubic meters of drilling
and 220,000 cubic meter concrete works have already
been completed.
Construction
of the modern cities
Attempts on designing and construction of new
cities certainly constitute one of the remarkable
endevours of the post-revolution years. Currently
twelve new cities such as Hashgerd, Andeesheh,
Mohajern, Sadra, A-L-ishahr, Pardis, Parand, Baharestan,
Majlesi and Sahand are under construction. Appropriately,
the ultimate goals of constructing such cities
are the attraction of excessive population of
the large cities as well as the establishment
of employment-orientated industries, in appropriate
regions possessing necessary potentialities.
