Khazir Bridge

A bridge over the Khazir River on the road between Mosul and Erbil

Highway 2 crosses the Khazir River in-between Mosul and Erbil. The 2003 construction of the bridge was done as part of USAID developments with the Ministry of Public Works. This bridge was a twinned concrete structure with each direction bearing 2 lanes of traffic. It was partially destroyed a decade later by Islamic State militants with TNT.
