Construction Work on Upgraded Bus Lanes at Bar Ilan
Intersection Underway
By Betzalel Kahn
The City of Jerusalem and municipal construction company
Moriah have begun the second phase of the project to upgrade
infrastructures and public transportation routes in the
Shmuel Hanovi area. The construction work was initiated by
Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky in order to allow public
transportation users to arrive at their destination easily
and in less time. The plan emphasizes pedestrian safety.
This phase includes the installation of traffic-light
infrastructures at the main Bar-Ilan intersection and work is
expected to continue for four weeks. Based on a directive
from the Mayor, the work will be performed only at night and
at least one lane will remain open at all times to avoid
disrupting the flow of traffic as much as possible. Although
the type of work involved is not particularly noisy, should
excavating prove necessary it will take place toward the
beginning of the night to avoid disturbing area residents.
