Engineer Ammar Salah Mahdi from the site said that " the technical staff has started installing the Iron Bridge to facilitate the smooth passage of visitors arriving at the shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas(peace be upon him) during the Ziyarat Arba'een of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), and to ensure that their movement does not intersect with the passage of the hussayni condolence processions.
He added, " the bridge is being erected from the side of the gate of Imam al-Hassan (peace be upon him) overlooking the square between the Two Holy Shrines, and this comes as part of the preparations for the Blessed Ziyarat Arba'een," pointing out that "the dimensions of the bridge were designed with a length of 21 meters and a width of 8 meters, divided into two halves, the first to go and the other to return, according to the required engineering measurements and under the supervision of specialized engineers."
The engineering staff at the Al-Abbas's (p) Shrine is working on erecting this bridge before the Ziyarat Arba'een of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), in order to reduce the cases of heavy traffic during the major Ziyarat, according to Mahdi.
