The Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, a key crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, has been subject to closures and restrictions by Israeli authorities. In September 2025, Israel temporarily closed the crossing for both passenger and cargo traffic, impacting freedom of movement and humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza and the West Bank. The European Union urged Israel to reopen the crossing for cargo as well as passengers, emphasizing the importance of maintaining access for humanitarian relief and compliance with international law .
In the West Bank, Israel has approved several road and bridge projects aimed at separating Israeli and Palestinian traffic. The so-called “Fabric of Life Road” near Jerusalem is a major initiative that will divert Palestinian vehicles away from Route 1, the main highway connecting Jerusalem to the Ma'ale Adumim settlement, which will be reserved for Israeli use only. This project includes constructing new bypass roads and bridges, such as replacing the Jaba' bridge with a wider alternative, to facilitate settler movement while restricting Palestinian access . These projects are part of a broader strategy to encircle settlements, fragment Palestinian areas, and consolidate Israeli control over key corridors. Palestinians in affected areas, including villages like az-Za'ayyem, al-Eizariya, and Khan al-Ahmar, will face restricted vehicular access, often limited to foot travel, which critics argue undermines territorial continuity for a future Palestinian state .
The construction of these roads and bridges has drawn international criticism, with organizations like Peace Now labeling them as “apartheid roads” that isolate Palestinian communities. The projects are framed by Israeli authorities as security measures to prevent attacks and reduce congestion, but they also facilitate settlement expansion and strategic control over the West Bank . In summary, Palestinian bridge and road construction is heavily influenced by Israeli infrastructure projects, which reshape access, mobility, and territorial connectivity. Key crossings like the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge remain critical for humanitarian aid and cross-border movement, while West Bank bypass roads and bridges increasingly restrict Palestinian vehicular access and consolidate Israeli settlement networks.
