WANA (Apr 11) – Iranian transportation authorities have announced the successful restoration of several critical railway bridges and tracks across the country, just days after they were destroyed in targeted missile strikes by Israeli and U.S. forces.

 

Rapid Reconstruction in Chaharbagh

Mohammad Reza Alborzi, the Governor of Chaharbagh County in Alborz Province, confirmed the full recovery of the local railway bridge. Despite the structure being “100% destroyed” during the initial attack, engineering teams managed to complete repairs in record time.

 

“Through the relentless efforts of railway personnel, the bridge was reconstructed in less than 48 hours—totaling just 24 hours of active labor,” Alborzi stated.

 

He emphasized that the government’s priority is the immediate restoration of public services to minimize disruption for citizens.

 

First Train Crosses Repaired Bridge in Kashan

In Isfahan Province, the Yahya-Abad Bridge at the Kashan railway station has officially returned to service.

 

The facility was hit by missile fire on April 7, causing significant structural damage.

 

Following a three-day emergency reconstruction operation, the first train successfully crossed the bridge, marking the full resumption of transit in the area.

 

Local officials characterized the swift repair as a direct response to the “criminal actions” of the attacking forces.

 

Tehran-Mashhad Line Reopened

Further, railway authorities confirmed that restoration work on the Bahram–Ray rail axis has been successfully completed.

 

The repair of this specific section is of strategic importance, as it has allowed for the reactivation of the Tehran-Mashhad line—one of the country’s busiest and most vital transit corridors for both passengers and freight.

 

The route had been temporarily suspended following the strikes, but officials now say the path is entirely clear for scheduled traffic.

 

Southern Rail Line Reopened

Officials have also restored the vital southern rail link after completing emergency repairs on a seven-span bridge targeted by U.S. and Israeli strikes.

 

Located near Taj-Khatun in Qom Province, the bridge was reconstructed in less than 40 hours through a coordinated effort between the provincial railway, road transport departments, and the Governor’s office.

 

This strategic line connects Qom to the south, serving as a primary corridor for passengers and freight between cities such as Ahvaz, Malayer, Kermanshah, and Khorramshahr. Traffic on the route has now officially resumed.
