Republic Bridge

Republic Bridge stretches across the Tigris River with a modern design that accommodates both vehicle traffic and pedestrian walkways in the central area of Baghdad.

The construction of Republic Bridge in 1957 marked a period of infrastructure development in Iraq during the post-colonial modernization of the country.

The bridge name in Arabic, جسر الجمهورية, reflects the local identity while serving as a reference point for residents navigating through different districts of Baghdad.

Regular maintenance operations and security measures on Republic Bridge ensure safe passage for thousands of people crossing the Tigris River each day.

Located at coordinates 33.324762 latitude and 44.404512 longitude, Republic Bridge connects to Arbataash Tamuz street and manages traffic flow through Baghdad's alluvial terrain.
