Sinak Bridge, Connection bridge between Iranian embassy area and Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq.
Sinak Bridge is a 680 meter-long structure spanning the waters of Baghdad, connecting two opposite sides of the city. With a width of 20 meters, it carries daily vehicle and pedestrian traffic between different urban districts.
The bridge became a focal point during the October 2019 protests when thousands gathered here to demonstrate against government policies. These events made it a significant location in Baghdad's recent history.
The structure represents a meeting point between different neighborhoods of Baghdad, where residents gather during celebrations and important community events.
The bridge is currently open to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic following the removal of earlier barriers. Visitors should check current conditions and remain aware of local security situations before planning a crossing.
The bridge provides direct access to the Green Zone, a heavily secured area housing government buildings and parliament. Its exclusive status stems from this strategic position within the city's geography.
