Yarkon Bridge, Concrete and steel bridge at Yarkon River, Tel Aviv, Israel.

The Yarkon Bridge is a concrete and steel structure that crosses the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv. It connects different parts of the city and allows pedestrians and vehicles to pass over the waterway.

A British pontoon bridge, mapped as Muwannis Bridge, served here during the Mandate. In January 1927 Solel Boneh and Tel Aviv workers built a 40-metre concrete bridge to withstand floods. In 1955 it was replaced by a steel tied-arch bridge designed by engineer Shoshana Shaham, and in 1974 a parallel prestressed-concrete bridge was added for southbound traffic.

The steel bridge became a symbol of post-independence Tel Aviv and a meeting point for young people and artists, used as a gathering spot before concerts. The musical trio Gesher HaYarkon, formed in 1964 by Arik Einstein, Beni Amdursky and Yehoram Gaon, took its name from the bridge, and Naomi Shemer's song "Sixteen" opens with the line about sandals on Yarkon Bridge.

The steel arch bridge carries northbound traffic on Namir Road, while the 1974 prestressed-concrete span beside it carries southbound traffic. A small tunnel built in 1973 passes beneath the bridge, linking Bnei Dan Street with Kosovsky Street in Shikun Bavli. Pedestrians and cyclists cross on the bridge itself.

The steel arch bridge, built in 1955 and designed by engineer Shoshana Shaham, became a meeting point for young people and artists. In the 1960s and 1980s, motorcyclists performed daredevil rides on its high arches until the city installed permanent barriers.
