One way to allow the public to visit an archaeological site is to build bridges over the old stones.
Dig work can continue beneath the visitors, as happens here at the City of David, a top tourist destination in Jerusalem.

These "bridges" are for Sunday Bridges .

A unique bridge indeed.
This is much nicer than viewing from the edges through a glass panel.
That looks like a place that I would like to explore. I think it would be interesting watching archaeologist do their work.
Good idea. Gives a sense of perspective being able to look down.
I like those bridges, you have a great view over the old excavations.
I bet that's a fascinating place to visit
great bridge...what fun work...i always wanted to be an archeologist!
Those are useful bridges. Great addition to our Sunday Bridges collection, Dina.
This is great! I'd love to watch a dig (under an umbrella, mind you).
What's exciting to me is that the City of David, so mythological in my mind, actually exists for us to learn about. Wow.
Bridges over time and history...
WOW!! The City of David...how exciting. You live in a fabulous place filled with so much important history. Your shot was captured beautifully.
Very original entry on the bridge theme. The place must be fantastic!
Superb, Dina!
