The Damiya bridge, badly damaged three weeks ago when a Jordanian officer touched off demolition charges to forestall an imagined Israeli invasion, was re-opened to traffic today. The span was repaired by the Jordanian Army engineers who cleared their plans with Israeli Army officers before they started to work. The re-opening of the Damiya bridge will ease the burden on the Allenby bridge to the south which is the only other link between Jordan and the West Bank.
