Bnei Brak-Elad Road to Open This Month
By S. Fried
Good news for Elad residents: Hwy. 471 via Maccabit, from
Elad to Bnei Brak via the Bar-Ilan Interchange, will be open
to traffic by Pesach the Israel National Road Company told MK
Rabbi Moshe Gafni, who has been following the issue
closely.
Although the new highway is essentially ready for use, Elad
residents and Bnei Brak residents with ties to Elad are still
waiting for the opening of the highway, which promises to
significantly cut travel time between Elad and Bnei Brak. The
delay is due to various statutory issues (right of way). Now
these problems have been resolved and the National Road
Company can continue with the road work unhindered. MK Rabbi
Gafni has issued several requests to open the road in its
present state to allow it to be used in the meantime and now
he has been promised Tzomet Zerubavel will be open to traffic
this month, allowing direct access to the Bar-Ilan
Interchange.
