The Shadravan Bridge runs parallel to the newly constructed bridge located on the Shooshtar-Dezful Road. This ancient bridge is a relic of Sassanid period (Shahpour I ). One of the conditions that Kaiser of Rome and his soldiers could be set free was the construction of Shadravan Bridge, and this condition was agreed to by the emperor.
When the construction of bridge was finished, Shapour released the order to set free the Kaiser of Rome and his soldiers and they returned back to their country. Sixteen arches of this bridge have remained. The Shadravan Bridge has been built of cobbled stone and mortar.
