English Abstract

Bridges are most commonly significant in the area of transportation for their role in conveying passengers and materials across streams and rivers as part of a particular road.

Bridges became increasingly important for the development of regional economies, such as the discovery of oil in the area.

Generally, the bridge should provide the full range of structural engineering services required to provide safe, economical and reliable structure for transportation.

Soran District with its four sub-districts (Diyana, Khalifan, Rawanduz and Sidekan) has a large and impressive collection of bridges, with a number of structures that are extremely significant.

The recent work provides a field survey, documentary research into Soran bridges: guide information on type, location, description, in addition to photographs of all the bridges including the historic ones.

Documentation and mapping out the bridges of Soran is made in order to justify why the bridge is significant to the community, and to evaluate the bridges states as parts of the overall transportation network of the area.

The key findings of the research will be shared with responsible people of Soran and Kurdistan government in order to find ways to make our bridges work better by implementation of comprehensive strategy that focuses on maintenance, rehabilitation and /or replacement toward improving safety and access across the district which bolsters economic growth.
