Highway 16, a new artery at the western entrance to Yerushalayim, recently opened a year ahead of schedule and is providing direct access to the southern and central sections of the city via a four-mile route that includes four tunnels, seven bridges, and three interchanges.

The highway is meant to shorten travel time to the city’s suburbs and to lighten congestion on other highways leading into Yerushalayim from the west.

In June 2021, part of the Shaarei Tzedek hospital parking lot collapsed into the tunnel beneath. Miraculously, although seven cars fell into the pit, there were zero injuries.

Yerushalayim has also opened the Kerem Tunnel, the first bicycle tunnel in Israel, as part of a 26-mile cycling route around the city.
