BAGHDAD (Ruptly) – A bridge connecting provinces Erbil and Kirkuk in Iraqi Kurdistan has been reopened after being closed for 10 months.
The bridge was closed following clashes between Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga militants.
The two checkpoints on the bridge are reportedly controlled by both Iraqi and Peshmerga forces, each side in charge of its own one.
Iraqi Commander of Federal Police headquarters Shaker Quinn said that the timing for cargo vehicles to use the road will be set separately from other vehicles.
