Ussishkin Bridge, Steel bridge across Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, Israel
Ussishkin Bridge is a steel structure that crosses the Yarkon River in northern Tel Aviv, carrying both vehicles and pedestrians. It connects the city's northern and southern areas, providing access to residential neighborhoods and parks on either side of the river.
The bridge was completed in 1956 as part of Tel Aviv's infrastructure development during Israel's early decades. It was built during a time when the city was expanding and needed new connections between growing neighborhoods.
The bridge connects residential neighborhoods to Yarkon Park and is part of daily life for people living in northern Tel Aviv. Many locals use it regularly to reach the green spaces and recreational areas on the river's banks.
The bridge is free and open to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic at all times. The easiest way to find it is to follow signs toward the Yarkon River, as it serves as a main crossing point in the area.
The bridge reflects engineering techniques from the 1950s with its steel framework design, which was considered advanced for its time. Today it stands as an example of early Israeli industrial architecture that shaped the city's development.
