Khajoo bridge has 24 spans made of stone cubes. Khajoo is one of the bridges that has played a role in regulating the flow of water in the river due to the presence of a gate or valve under each of its arches. When the gates of the bridge were closed, the water level at the back of the bridge rose and created an artificial lake to facilitate irrigation of the gardens and fields downstream.
Between each of the east and west sides of Khajoo Bridge, a building has been built, which includes some rooms that were decorated with paintings and their arches were beautifully decorated with tiles. Therefor Khajoo Bridge is more famous than other historical bridges on Zayandehrud. This mansion in the middle of Khajoo Bridge is called “Shahneshin” and at that time was the place of nobles and emirs who were invited to this place to watch swimming and boating competitions on the artificial lake.
