Infrastructure

Roads

Eyvan is located on road 17 (Iran). The Eyvan-Ilam part which has recently been expanded into a four-lane road is the busiest road in Ilam province.[9] The Eyvan-Ilam route has one tunnel. It is called Payambare Azam tunnel which is 1480 meters long and was inaugurated in February 2010. The 50 Kms Eyvan-Ilam route was made 11 Kms shorter. It replaced the old reno tunnel.[10] Eyvan bypass project is planned to be completed in two years.

There are two secondary roads. The older is to Sumar and the newer to Gilan-e Gharb.[11] Eyvan was connected to Gilan-e Gharb by a new route through nawdar road in 2015. This route has made the distance between the two cities 40 minutes shorter.[12][13][14]
