Krayat Bridge Construction

under construction

Construction of the Krayat Bridge over the Tigris River as part of Baghdad's long-delayed reconstruction campaign. The project is part of Baghdad's second-phase traffic decongestion programme and connects to major roads including Mohammed Al-Qasim Expressway and Army Canal. It is the first development in the 'Fifth Section' military zone, which will be transformed into a 400-acre area hosting public services, cultural and religious centres, and rest cities for pilgrims visiting Kadhimiya. The broader Kadhimiya reconstruction campaign includes upgrading roads, building schools, restoring historic schools, paving residential areas, and creating new city entrances.
