The <b>Gesher Rosh Pinnah</b> (גֶּשֶׁר רֹאשׁ פִּנָּה) was a bridge by means of which the <i>Jaffa–Jerusalem Railway</i> (J&amp;J line) crossed the <i>Reḥov Rosh Pinnah</i> (רְחוֹב רֹאשׁ פִּנָּה). The bridge lay in a wide curve of the J&amp;J line, by which the railway line changed between its northwest-southeast course parallel to <i>Reḥov ha-Rakkevet</i> and its north-south course parallel to <i>Reḥov he-Kharash</i> (רְחוֹב הֶחָרָשׁ). The rail causeway formed the northern and eastern border to Naveh Sha'anan (נָוֶה שַׁאֲנָן), a neighbourhood of Tel Aviv founded in 1921/1923. The <i>Reḥov Rosh Pinnah</i> is a main street of Naveh Sha'anan, which runs in the southwest-northeast direction. In this photo from 1947 the view is directed eastwards into today's <i>Reḥov La Guardia</i> with the new neighbourhood of <i>Yad Eliahu</i> under construction. Naveh Sha'anan is behind the viewer. The railway line was shut down in this section in 1970 and the bridge demolished in 1971, the railway causeway was removed, the area thus gained was later converted into the widened streets <i>Reḥov ha-Rakkevet</i> and <i>Reḥov he-Kharash</i> (which forms also the trunk road <i>Kvish 2</i>). The bridge lay in what is now the wide area of the intersection of <i>Reḥov ha-Rakkevet</i> (from the north-west), <i>Reḥov ha-Masger</i> (from the north), <i>Reḥov La Guardia</i> (from the east), <i>Reḥov he-Kharash</i> (from the south), <i>Reḥov Levandah</i> (from the south-southwest) and <i>Reḥov Rosh Pinnah</i> (from the south-west). The short, undeveloped end of the <i>Reḥov Rosh Pinnah</i>, which lay north-east of the bridge here partially in view behinde the bridge, disappeared in today's wide area of the crossroads.
