The bridge is 295 meters long and 75/13 meters wide and is one of the first works that Shah Abbas ordered to make.

The first idea of the construction of the Si-o-se-pol dates back to 1008 AH in the 12th year of the reign of Shah Abbas I. The bridge was completed in 1011 AH under Allahvardi Khan.

On the opposite side of the bridge, there is a crossroads that are seen across the bridge. Si-o-se-pol bridge have a sidewalk to travel over the bridge and a sidewalk down the bridge. The lower sidewalk is a cross-section between of bridge's main piers with a little distance from the riverbed.

At the celebration on Tir 13th, people were taking part in the ceremony by splashing water and rose water.

Petro Delawall describes the Si-o-se-pol as follows:

There is a bridge on this river, all of which is made of brick and its width is greater than all the bridges of Rome, and its length is at least three to four times the bridges. The architecture of this bridge is strangely carried out, and on both sides there are arches that people pass from below and above. What attracts most is the bridges' corridors that are almost level, and whispers of water in the lower floor of the bridge, especially in warm summers.
