Drawing on its unique network of local sources, IraqSlogger has produced an exclusive 95-page report that details the conditions and strategic importance of the city’s major spans.

For each bridge, the report includes information about construction materials, lanes open, opening hours, passability, checkpoints, cargo capacity restrictions, prohibitions on types of vehicles or direction of travel, as well as an explanation of the logistical and strategic relevance of each structure.

Each entry brings together descriptive, historical, and geographic data gathered by our network of well-informed Iraqi sources. Precise coordinates and satellite image illustrations are also provided for each bridge.
