Completed in 2022, this bridge was designed to accommodate the last stop of the Jerusalem Red Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) extension.
With a maximum width of 20 meters and over 230 meters in length, this twelve-span bridge will be used as an LRT station serving Hadassah Hospital.
The method of construction consists of a post tensioned cast-in-place slab on falsework (scaffolding). The width of the bridge changes at the point where Track No.1 branches into two tracks and passenger platforms are added.
As there is a risk that large horizontal seismic forces acting on the bridge during an earthquake, isolation devices were required to reduce the effects on the piers and foundations of the bridge. A Time History Analysis was performed due to the nonlinear characteristics of the bridge bearings and the unique bridge geometry.
