Route 16 is inaugurated, serving as a new entrance to Jerusalem
Officials today inaugurate Route 16, a new stretch of highway that provides Jerusalem with another entrance.
The 6-kilometer (3.7 mile) section connects motorists from Route 1 directly into the Givat Shaul neighborhood and is expected to significantly ease traffic for those heading to the city’s southern and Western neighborhoods.
The road, which consists of four tunnels and seven bridges, will officially open to traffic after midnight.
