The architect of the Si O Se Pol bridge is master Hossein Bana Isfahani, whose son Mohammad Reza Isfahani also built the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque. Although bridges are usually built in narrow sections of a river, but to build Si O Se Pol bridge, Master Hossein Bana Esfahani chose the widest part of the Zayandeh Rud River, because this part of the river was flowed in a shallow, wide and calm bed.
Si O Se Pol bridge is built on two floors. Stone is used to make the lower part of bridge and bricks, mortar and plaster are used for making the upper part of this bridge. The bridge is built in a way that moisture increases its durability and strength, and water can not damage it in the long run.
