At least 15 people were wounded in the attack, which occurred on the Jadriyah bridge over the Tigris river.
The extent of damage to the bridge was not immediately clear.
The bombing was the second attack on a major bridge in Baghdad this week.
Eleven people were killed when a suicide lorry bomb collapsed the al-Sarafiyah bridge in northern Baghdad on Thursday.
