The new tram goes up and over the new bridge!Calatrava's Bridge of Strings was built to carry Jerusalem's first light rail and also pedestrians.
It is the world's first curved suspended train-bearing bridge; and it works, so far at least!
The exciting view of the cables from the tram window!

I had fun going back to all your Bridge of Strings posts, Dina. You could be the official story teller for the development of this cool bridge.
ReplyDeleteAll Calatrava's designs are wonderful I think and also a masterpiece of calculations. This is no exception. Thanks for showing.
ReplyDeleteA fine contribution to Sunday Bridges, Dina!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a thrill ride at Disney.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that's not an alien space station disguised as a bridge?
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! I don't think so Victor! :)

Ha! I posted a bridge taken from a tram today too!
ReplyDeleteYours looks so pristine and inviting.
This is really awesome, Dina! It's wonderful how Israel mixes the ancient with the very modern.
ReplyDeleteDina, it's a pleasure to look at these nice perspectives of the new bridge.
ReplyDeleteIt's a real miracle that that 'thing' still stands...
