Wokop Bridge, Pedestrian bridge over Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, Israel
The Wokop Bridge is a pedestrian crossing made of metal and concrete that spans the Yarkon River and connects different sections of Tel Aviv. The structure is relatively narrow with solid handrails designed specifically for foot traffic.
The bridge was built in 1937 and named after Arthur Grenfell Wauchope, a British administrator who supported infrastructure development during the Mandate period. Its construction reflects the building techniques of that era and has remained a functional structure ever since.
The bridge serves as a daily crossing for residents moving between neighborhoods, reflecting its role in the city's local life. It functions as part of the pedestrian network that connects different areas divided by the river.
The bridge is easily accessible from both riverbanks and can be crossed at any time of day. The surface is stable and comfortable to walk on, making it straightforward to cross the river and connect the two areas.
The bridge has maintained its original design for nearly 90 years while the city around it has transformed significantly. This makes it a quiet witness to Tel Aviv's urban growth and change.
