In Zoroastrianism, what is the name of the bridge souls cross after death?

In Zoroastrianism, the Chinvat Bridge is the passage souls cross after death. Its name is often translated as the Bridge of Judgment, and Zoroastrian texts connect its crossing with the moral record of the deceased.

According to traditional accounts, a righteous person crosses safely toward a blessed afterlife, while an evildoer falls into a place of punishment. The bridge is therefore both a physical image and a symbol of moral judgment. Zoroastrian teachings emphasize the importance of good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.

The bridge is associated with the individual judgment that follows death, while Zoroastrian eschatology also includes a final renovation of the world. Chinvat is sometimes compared with the Islamic Sirat, but the two belong to different religious traditions. Similar bridge imagery does not make them the same doctrine or term.
