The Tabi'at Bridge (Persian: Pole Tabiat‎ literally meaning: Nature Bridge) is the largest pedestrian overpass in Tehran, Iran. The 270-metre (890 ft) bridge connects two public parks — Taleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park — by spanning Modarres Expressway, one of the main highways in northern Tehran.[1] The word tabiat means "nature" in the Persian language.[1][2]

The bridge was designed by Diba Tensile Architecture (Leila Araghian and Alireza Behzadi).[1] It has won several awards, including the Popular Choice Prize for Highways & Bridges from the Architizer A+ Awards, a global architectural competition based in New York.[3][4] The bridge also won the 2016 Aga Khan Award for Architecture[5] for its exemplary approach to an infrastructure project, "a breath of fresh air" according to the award jury.[6]
