The Bridge of Strings - Jerusalem's New Gateway

Construction on the Bridge of Strings at the entrance to Jerusalem is expected to take another seven months. The NIS 135 million bridge, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, will be built on concrete supports covered in Jerusalem stone, above which will hang a steel and glass structure. Calatrava's slender curved span will soar above the perpetual traffic jam at the intersection of Jaffa Road and Shazar and Herzl boulevards, rising from near the future train station - which is slated to begin carrying passengers to Modi'in, Ben-Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv in 2009.01/23/08
