Sec. 9. TRANSFER POINTS. Ahwaz (Map 3).—Tran
shipment is now effected by means of branch lines of Iranian
State Railway aniffiiffnonted by M. T.
A branch of the State Railway runs from the new lower-river
wharf on the right bank of the river and joins the main line near
the railway bridge, and another branch leaves the main line on
the left bank near the bridge and runs to the A. I. O. C. upper-
river wharf.
Transhipment is thus from the right to the left bank via the
railway bridge. The bridge is 1,000 yards long and made of
steel and concrete with wooden decking.
The construction of a road bridge immediately below the
lower river wharf on the left bank has been completed.
Goods easily handled can be landed at this wharf and be
transported by M. T. to the upper river wharf.
Town imnrovement schemes on a large scale now starting in
Ahwaz provide*^ wide metalled road from the new
bridge, through the town and to the A. I. O. G. s compound
and upper-river wharf.
