Khan Bridge was destroyed by Armenians in 1980.

In the southern part of the city of Iravan, at a distance of 150 - 200 m, the Khan's bridge over the Zangi River was a relic of the 18th century (it was made of river stones, 8 m wide, up to 20 m long, 10 m high). In the early 1980s, the Hays de­molished and destroyed it. Then, in the 1960s, the water mill built in the middle of the 19th century on the right bank of the river (it was near the old Iravan Castle, 2 km away) was blown up and destro­yed. This mill was operated in a rent by Ramazan Abbas oghlu, a resident of Zahmet village.

The Khan brid­ge, which plays the role of a stra­tegic link in the southern part of the city, is also important in terms of rep­resenting the his­torical heri­ta­ge of 18th cen­tury Azerbaijan.
