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.
