Maintenance Department of the Imam Hussein holy shrine installs temporary overpasses to facilitate pilgrims traffic

Maintenance department installed temporary overpasses at EL-Qibla Gate of Imam Hussein holy shrine and between the two holy shrines preparing for the Fortieth Millionth pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (p.b.u.h). This step considered one of the most important steps the Imam Hussein holy shrine ever took for facilitating the pilgrims' movement and flow into Kerbala city. The need to these temporary overpasses is so important and urgent to facilitate the flow of the Husseinian processions that are within the rituals of the pilgrimage. The processions usually march; and they block the way in front of the pilgrims for performing such rituals, and those overpasses is the best solution to lift this kind of block between processions and pilgrims. It's noticeable that those overpasses are temporary and movable, and lifted once the Fortieth pilgrimage is finished, the pilgrimage in which the number of the pilgrims exceeds millions.
