The new pedestrian bridge, connecting the high-tech park and the Beer-Sheva Tzafon train station (and Ben-Gurion University), was officially inaugurated and opened on 12 June, 2016. At some 210 meters long, the steel bridge is a scenic point of reference as it spans over the active and operational and railways and the site of future ones. The bridge?s design incorporates over 200 types of different steel beam cross-sections, making up its unique geometry ? four steel arches, curling and twisting, creating two broad lenses with openings of 110 meters and 70 meters. The credit for this unique design goes to Bar Orian Architects and Rokach Ashkenazi Engineers.
