Northern Jerusalem Bridge

The Northern Jerusalem Bridge is a steel arch road bridge in Magdeburg. It crosses a valley and joins two neighborhoods using a distinctive curved steel structure that spans considerable distance.

Built in 1996, the bridge was part of broader infrastructure modernization efforts in Magdeburg following reunification. It created new traffic routes and improved connections between previously separated neighborhoods.

The bridge takes its name from the Jerusalem neighborhood it passes through, shaping local awareness of this district's identity. It forms part of daily routines as residents move between different parts of the city.

The best views of the structure appear from below in the valley or from nearby streets alongside it. Pedestrians and cyclists can cross using designated paths and sidewalks built into the design.

The bridge exemplifies engineering practices of the 1990s and shows typical design choices from that period. The arch design was chosen to span significant elevation changes while maintaining visual grace.
