14th of July Bridge, Suspension bridge in Baghdad, Iraq
The 14th of July Bridge extends 167 meters across the Tigris River, connecting central Baghdad to the Karrada peninsula through Arbataash Tamuz street.
Construction of the bridge started in 1961 after architect David B. Steinman designed the structure in 1956, marking a period of infrastructure development in Iraq.
The bridge name commemorates the events of July 14, 1958, when Iraq underwent a transformation from monarchy to republic through a military revolution.
The structure functions as a primary transportation route for vehicles and pedestrians, linking the commercial district of Karada with Baghdad central neighborhoods.
The bridge stands as the sole suspension bridge in Baghdad, built upon alluvial ground that required specific engineering solutions for its foundation.
