Al-Aimmah Bridge

About

Al-Aimmah Bridge (Jisr al-'Ā'immah, lit. 'Bridge of the Imams') is a bridge over the river Tigris in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The bridge links the areas of A'dhamiyyah, which is a majority Sunni Arab area, from its east bank, with the Shi'te area of Kadhimiyyah on its west. A'dhamiyyah is where the mosque of Sunni Imam Abu Hanifah is located. Kadhimiyyah is where the Mosque of Shi'ite Imams Musa al-Kadhim and Muhammad al-Jawad is located.
