Baghdad: Traffic authorities have announced a ban on the movement of large vehicles on the Mohammed Al-Qasim Expressway bridge. This decision affects the stretch from the Ministry of Finance to the Bab al-Sharqi area.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the General Directorate of Traffic imposed this restriction due to damage caused by a recent fire in the al-Nahda area. The fire has compromised the structural integrity of the bridge, prompting authorities to take preventive measures to ensure safety.
