Yibna Bridge, Mamluk arch bridge in Yavne, Israel

The Yibna Bridge spans 48 meters across Nahal Sorek River with three arches supported by two central piers featuring triangular upstream cutwaters.

Sultan Baybars commissioned the construction of this bridge between 1273 and 1274 to strengthen military connections between Egypt and northern Syria.

The bridge incorporates substantial quantities of reused masonry from the Crusader period, reflecting the architectural practices of medieval Islamic engineering.

The structure previously carried Route 410 traffic to Rehovot before a modern replacement span was built, now serving as part of a recreational area.

Local residents named it the Jumping Bridge due to a distinctive bump that caused vehicles to lift slightly when crossing at higher speeds.
