Bab al-Mudham bridge, Road bridge over Tigris River in Baghdad, Iraq.

The steel and concrete structure extends 855 meters across the Tigris River, connecting the neighborhoods of A'dhamiyyah and Kadhimiyyah.

Built between 1977 and 1983, the bridge established a critical transportation link between previously separated sections of Baghdad during a period of urban growth.

The bridge links the neighborhood of A'dhamiyyah, with its Sunni population, to Kadhimiyyah, where Shiite residents live, forming a physical connection between communities.

The bridge carries four lanes of vehicle traffic and includes pedestrian walkways, enabling thousands of residents to cross the Tigris River daily.

The bridge experienced a three-month closure in 2005 following a major incident, after which new safety measures were implemented to protect crossing pedestrians.
