After completing the first and third steps, the highway of Amir Lieutenant General Martyr Seyyed Abdul Rahim Mousavi entered the operational stage after 25 months of executive operation. A project that has been implemented with the aim of reducing traffic nodes, completing the connection between the main arteries and improving access in the western part of the capital.

Sefir Arjan - Social Group: Shahid Mousavi highway (Dugas) in west of Tehran, with a cost of 2200 billion Tomans and after 25 months of implementation, was opened on 25 October 1405.

This morning, Saturday, October 25th, Amir Seyed Abdul Rahim Mousavi Highway (Dugas) entered the operational stage as one of the important projects of the development of transportation infrastructure in the western part of Tehran metropolis, with the completion and opening of the first and third steps; The project, whose implementation aims to eliminate one of the strategic bottlenecks of the highway network, improve the traffic flow and complete the connection between the main axes of the west of the capital, was put on the agenda of the city administration.

The lack of a standard communication artery in this area during the past years had caused the formation of heavy traffic nodes, increased travel time and wasted time of citizens in alternative routes. Based on this, the implementation of this project was defined as one of the construction priorities of the city management in order to improve traffic in the region's highway network by creating new communication routes, constructing multi-level intersections and organizing accesses.

The implementation of the project started in August 1403 and was defined in three implementation steps. The first and third steps proceeded quickly due to the early removal of the opponents and were ready for operation on October 25, 1405. According to the information of the project, the executive workshop of this plan never stopped working during the two imposed wars and its executive operations continued.
