The Golda Bridge stands as a vital link between the central areas of Jerusalem and its northern neighborhoods. Functioning as an overhead bridge, it provides direct access to the highway section along Menachem Begin Boulevard on the west side of the city.
The Shapir Group undertook the construction of two bridges using prefabricated segments, with each segment weighing approximately 80 tons. The significant challenge in this project lay in constructing the bridges with minimal disruption to the continuous flow of traffic on the existing road, all while preserving the surrounding trees and vegetation.
Employing a prefabricated construction method, 101 segments were manufactured offsite, assembled as a complete unit, and intricately connected on-site through a sophisticated process involving adhesion and castings. This assembly was executed using cranes positioned above the active road, ensuring uninterrupted traffic flow.
Client: Moriah Jerusalem Development Corporation
Period of Construction: 1996-2002
Financial Scope: Approximately NIS 150 million
