Allenby Bridge, Border crossing bridge near Jericho, Jordan
The concrete structure spans the Jordan River at 273 meters below sea level, featuring four traffic lanes connecting the West Bank to Jordan.
British forces built the first concrete bridge in 1918, naming it after Field Marshal Edmund Allenby who commanded the Egyptian Expeditionary Force.
The bridge serves as a primary crossing point for Palestinians traveling between the West Bank and Jordan, operating under agreements between Israel and Jordan.
The terminal includes separate halls for entry and exit procedures, processing both international travelers and Palestinian residents throughout the week.
The Japanese government funded the construction of the modern bridge in 1994, replacing the previous Bailey bridge used for cargo transport.
