Fifth Bridge

Fifth Bridge, Road bridge over the Tigris in Mosul, Iraq

The Fifth Bridge (Al-Jisr al-Khamis) is a road bridge over the Tigris in Mosul, Nineveh Governorate, linking the Al-Muhandisin and Al-Shifa neighbourhoods on the city's two banks. It is 1,940 metres long and was the largest and last bridge built in Mosul, constructed in the 1980s.

The bridge was built during the 1980s as a major transportation link for the city. It was destroyed in November 2016 during military operations and has since become part of reconstruction efforts.

The Fifth Bridge links the Al-Muhandisin and Al-Shifa neighbourhoods on opposite banks of the Tigris, so it is named for its place in the sequence of Mosul's river crossings rather than for a person or event. Its 1,940-metre span made it the longest and last bridge built in the city.

The bridge serves as the main crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians over the Tigris River for daily movement. Check current conditions before using this route, as infrastructure in the area continues to develop.

At 1,940 metres, the Fifth Bridge was the longest and last bridge built in Mosul, constructed in the 1980s to link the Al-Muhandisin and Al-Shifa neighbourhoods across the Tigris. On 25 May 2021 the Mosul Roads and Bridges Directorate signed a contract to rehabilitate it, funded by the World Bank with a 15-month execution period.
