Damia Bridge

The Damia Bridge (also Damiya) or Prince Muhammad Bridge (Arabic names), known in Israel as the Adam Bridge , is a now closed bridge over the Jordan River between the West Bank and Jordan. It is about 35 kilometres (over 20 miles) north of Jericho and used to be the location of an Israeli border checkpoint. After 1991 it was used only for goods transported by truck between Israel and the West Bank on one side, and Jordan on the other, until some time between 2002 and 2005 during the Second Intifada, when it was closed by Israel due to security reasons and all traffic was moved to the Allenby Bridge border crossing. As of 2014, on the Israeli side the bridge is part of a closed military area.
