The Western Wall Plaza has now returned to normal after two
weeks of heavy police presence due to renovation work on the
Mughrabi ramp.
The construction work on the ramp continues, with dozens of
Antiquities Authority workers taking down the mound of earth
manually in order to check for valuable relics from the past.
According to estimates the project will continue for the next
seven months until the level of the Mughrabi ramp reaches the
level of the Western Wall Plaza.
Recently the Jewish Quarter Development Company and the
Western Wall Heritage Foundation completed plans for the new
bridge in order to discuss them in detail.
The number of visitors during the tensions of the past
several weeks remained undiminished, but private vehicles
were denied entry and large police forces were on hand to
quell outbreaks of rioting choliloh. After several
days of quiet the police decided to reinstate the routine
security arrangements.
