Al-Aimmah Bridge (Arabic: جسر الأئمة, romanized: 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.[1][2] Kadhimiyyah is where the Mosque of Shi'ite Imams Musa al-Kadhim and Muhammad al-Jawad is located.[3][4][5]
