Jindas Bridge

The bridge structure here remains an embossed and resilient piece of history. Dating back to the 13th century, it was a Mamluk bridge known then as the Baybars Bridge, stretching out over the Ayalon River. It is still in use today and is right outside of the strip of Lod that is heavily dotted with NGOs, organizations, and businesses. The only other Mamluk bridge in Israel — the Jumping Bridge in Yavneh, is not in use. The Jindas bridge, as it is called today, is part of the Mamluk postal road (Tariq al Barid) project. It is one of the most impressive ancient bridges in this part of the world. It is the only bridge in the area to have survived dynamic changes, war, and the immense flooding of 1992.
