On the heavily used northern railway station of the important desert city of Be’er Sheva in southern Israel, the completion of a 200 m long footbridge provided an important urban infrastructure link. The impressive steel bridge completes a quick pedestrian connection between Ben Gurion University, the station and the new Gav-Yam Negev Technology Park. Moreover, the bridge fulfils all the criteria for a new urban landmark and underlines the image of Be’er Sheva as a well-planned centre for commuters journeying to work from the country’s central region.
