a new suspension bridge is being built at the main entrance to jerusalem, at the meeting point of jaffa road, yermiyahu street and hertzel boulevard. it’s not planned to be just a bridge - it will be a monument. internationally acclaimed spanish architect santiago calatrava was commissioned to design an artistic and practical solution for the new urban train scheduled to run above this busy intersection. the bridge is designed to be supported by an inclined central column, 130 meters high, with 150 meter long, white, suspension cables supporting a 380 meter long semi-circle on which the train will travel. jerusalem will join valencia, seville, lisbon, lyon and other cities in the world proudly displaying calatrava’s monumental designs.
