Al-Aaimmah bridge, Steel bridge over Tigris River in Baghdad, Iraq.

Al-Aaimmah bridge is a steel structure spanning the Tigris River in Baghdad and serving the city as a major transportation route. The structure accommodates both vehicles and pedestrians across its length, with multiple spans supporting passage over the river.

The modern bridge was built in 1957 by a British company, replacing a floating pontoon bridge known as the Adhamiyah bridge. It was modelled on the Battersea Bridge in London and was named Al-Aimmah to satisfy both Adhamiyah and Kadhimiya residents. On 31 August 2005, a stampede during a pilgrimage to Imam Musa al-Kadhim's death anniversary caused hundreds of deaths, and the bridge was closed until 11 November 2008.

The bridge serves as a physical link between the neighborhoods on either side of the river, connecting residents from different areas of Baghdad. Daily foot traffic and vehicle movement reflect how the structure integrates into the rhythm of city life for those who cross it.

The bridge links Adhamiyah on the east bank with Kadhimiya on the west, carrying pedestrians and vehicles over the Tigris. It was closed for three months before the August 2005 stampede and shut again for three years, reopening on 11 November 2008. Expect heavy crowds during the Kadhimiya pilgrimage marking the death of Imam Musa al-Kadhim.

Following a tragic incident in 2005, significant work was done to redesign the safety features and add protective barriers along the crossing. These improvements were part of efforts to make the passage safer for everyone who uses it.
