Highway 2 is an Iraqi highway which extends from Baghdad to Silopi in Turkey. It passes through Baqubah, Al Khalis, Kirkuk, Erbil, Mosul, Dohuk and Zakhu.[1]
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.[2] This bridge was a twinned concrete structure with each direction bearing 2 lanes of traffic.[3] It was partially destroyed a decade later by Islamic State militants with TNT.[4]
